Lexie Peattie  | Individual Funding

 

We have funded Lexie Peattie of Netley Abbey to help her with the costs of playing women’s Football for Portsmouth FC U15 Girls and JPL Warriors U15 rep team.

Lexie has played football in Hampshire since she was 11 years old.  In that time , she has won the Hampshire County Cup at under 12/13 and 15 level, won the Sussex League & County Cup, attended her league’s National finals for 3 consecutive seasons and she currently represents her age group in her league’s national team.

She plays for Portsmouth on a Saturday, Bognor Regis FC on a Sunday, trains 3 nights a week and often takes additional 1:1 training. She is also captain of her school team.

This summer, Lexie has second trials to attend ISFA (Independent Schools FA) and if selected  will represent her country. She also has trials for Hampshire County U16. Her goal is to be selected for these two opportunities this year, pass her GCSE exams with good grades and continue to enjoy and be fit for her sport.

Following this, she hopes to attend an American university on a sports & academic scholarship in 2028.

We are delighted to be able to make a contribution to Lexie to reach her goals in the future and to help with the costs of training camps, club fees and kit. We are certain she has a bright future ahead of her.
