Under 12 Pan-Disability Training Sessions

Overview

FOOTBALL FOR ALL! Our Pan-Disability sessions are dedicated to providing footballing opportunities for players with sensory, learning, or physical disabilities and/or challenges. Our aim as a club is to expand the level of local community engagement in sport by providing opportunities for disabled people of all ages and abilities. These sessions are targeted at boys and girls in school years 4 to 7 (as of September 2023). We provide a football for all approach where anyone who wants to participate is welcome to. This soccer school works to develop players close control and range of ball skills with a focus on passing and movement off the ball. This skill development will be achieved through fun activities that relate to the game. Whilst we aim to improve players as footballers we also place a great emphasis on the social and fun side of football and it's importance for both the players and parents in our pan-disability setup. Despite coaches being trained in Emergency Aid and Safeguarding of Children, all with enhanced CRB checks we ask that at least one parent/guardian is on hand should assistance be needed with your child's needs. Eligibility Requirements: ⚽️ Each footballer must have a physical, sensory or learning impairment and must attend either a special needs school, a unit within a special needs school, have a recognised/registered disability or have a statement of special educational needs. ⚽️ Any young person with a moderate learning disability must comply with the following: - Those who attend a school for moderate learning difficulties by virtue of a properly assessed general (as opposed to specific e.g. dyslexia) learning disability.
