Avril says she wants the campaign to go nationwide as she believes the programme could be hugely impactful for other sports.

"We're really, really proud to be part of something that's actually quite simple but it's about listening and being able to adapt accordingly," she said.

Park Rangers are the only team in Waterford with girls playing at every age level.

Avril says the campaign hopes to keep girls playing and enjoying soccer, while also ensuring the girls know they play an important part in the club.
