Redditch United Girls Football Club was founded in December 1995 - training began with a small group of girls on the car park at the Valley Stadium. Week by week the numbers increased. In our first year we represented Redditch in the Worcestershire Games and the Birmingham Football festival - along with a number of other 5 a-side competitions during the summer. In our first season we had two teams at U12 and U14, we now have teams offering girls from 8 to 16 continual competitive football playing in the Central Warwickshire Girls League and the Merican League.

RUGFC was one of the first teams in the country to offer single age band football across this age group.  The Club also has an Open Age team, started in 2005 after seeing previous women’s teams started from girls over 16 years but run outside the Clubs umbrella form only to then change their names and eventually lose the links to the RUGFC girls teams.

RUGFC has since its inception created and grown a number of links which have included a partnership with Arrow Vale Community High School, a Specialist Sports College, holding it's Open Day, High school 5 a-side and Adidas Goalkeeping Course at their facilities. The latter saw girls from all over the West Midlands age 8 to 16 put through their paces.

In just four seasons RUGFC grew to become the largest girls club in Worcestershire and after thirteen years continues to lead from the front and be seen as a Club to be linked with. The latest adventure brings the Club back to its starting point with revitalising links with Redditch United Football Club, by agreeing to refresh our engagement the Club looks forward to sharing in the Charter Standard Community Club status that is being sought from the Football Association.

Finally RUGFC has enjoyed the patronage of several organisations that have generously supported the Club in the purchase of football kits and equipment over the years. Needless to say new sponsors are always welcome and funding can cover not just the teams on the field but the ongoing costs that a Club of this size incurs from astro-turf hire for winter training through to covering the costs of coaching and training courses.
