Rachel Payton
Co-Founder & Director
Rachel’s passion for football came from watching her son play and fall in love with the game at a young age. She wanted the same opportunities for her daughter but found that the access was limited, especially in schools. With this drive, Rachel and Bekki set-up Footbellas and they’re proud to be part of the positive change in giving girls better access to football in schools.
