ABOUT
At Limehouse Laces, we take pride in being a genuine grassroots club focused on developing our own players from the ground up. We believe in nurturing talent within our community. We do not poach players from other clubs and discard existing players to strengthen our squad but stick with our players through their journey, helping them grow both on and off the pitch. We are committed to fostering a supportive environment where every girl has the opportunity to flourish. Our dedication to proving that football is a game for women and girls is reflected in our all-female leadership and coaching team ensuring that we champion and support every girl in the game.

Developing girls as individuals and players is at the centre of what we do.
At Limehouse Laces, our commitment is to developing girls who are well-rounded, intelligent, and motivated both on and off the pitch. We place a strong emphasis on versatility, positional awareness, and a deep understanding of the game. While winning is a a great outcome, our focus is on providing every girl with the opportunity to grow and benefit from our club's supportive environment. We avoid trials, offer sponsored places, and run female-only sessions to make football accessible to all. We believe that ability is not fixed; with time, effort, and opportunity, everyone can improve. Our philosophy encourages independent decision-making, enjoyment, and resilience, and we are dedicated to continuous improvement and lifelong learning. By nurturing these qualities, we aim to develop not only exceptional footballers but also individuals who are always striving to be their best and succeed in all aspects of life.
