Each girl will get to take 5 penalty kicks, as well as cheer on their friends.
We will also be joined by Pudsey and Sammy the Shrimp for lots of photo opportunities.

Girls can be accompanied by either their unit leaders or parents.
The event costs £1 per girl and 50p per adult.
All proceeds from the event and sponsorship money will be split equally between Children in Need, Southend United Community and Educational Trust and Girlguiding Anglia.
Further information
Sponsorship forms and an FAQ pack full of information for the day will be shared with booking information.
Sponsorship money can be gathered before or after the event. We will open a specific JustGiving page for all monies to be paid in to.
There’s more!
On the 11 November, 12 girls will be chosen to go through to take part in a final penalty shoot out opportunity at half time on match day, 16 December, at Southend United’s home ground.
The girls chosen will be assessed on 3 criteria; goals scored, display of Girlguiding values and sponsor money raised. If a child is chosen who cannot attend match day, then their place will be offered to the next girl on the list.
