Reading operate a Women's Academy (also called a Girls' Centre of Excellence) from ages 8 to 16. The Under-16s, Under-14s and Under-12s play regular fixtures in a league.
Except for the Under-10 squad where I have some better information, and for some information gleaned from reports of games, I've tried to move the players that I knew of from 2001/02 into the correct age groups for this season based on club appearances. There is obviously no way they are all going to be correct. A question mark indicates that I have made a guess about a player's age.
The Under-16s play their games in two halves. The Under-14s play 11-a-side with three periods of 25 minutes each. The Under-12s play 7-a-side with three periods of 20 minutes each (although because of the slope on certain pitches at Cantley an alternative is to play two 20-minute periods followed by two 10-minute periods).
Managers: Keith Harmes and Dave Caswell
