Sussex RTC

In 2021, Alex and Jools Willis embarked on a mission to change the landscape of women’s football. Their daughter, Tate, & her team mates faced rejection from their pathway team during the England Euros semi-final. Rather than accepting disappointment, Alex & Jools decided to create their own destiny.
Birth of the Sussex Lionesses - a club where girls thrived not only as athletes but as empowered individuals.
Undeterred by the odds, the Lionesses entered the Junior Premier League. Wins & losses were mere markers; the real victory lay in their spirit & development.

The JPL noticed their progress. “We believe you can do something ground breaking,” The first All Girls JPL RTC in the country was born.

The RTC is now expanding & has introduced boys JPL squads from the 2025/26 season.
