Overview
Launched in 2008, the Charlton Upbeats is a free programme open to children and young people with Down’s syndrome which is a firm favourite with Charlton Athletic supporters. Over 170 young people are registered with the Upbeats with 40 regular attendees at sessions every week. The Upbeats are nine times Down’s Syndrome Active national champions and also play in the Kent Adult Disability League.
The programme specialises in providing a progressive and safe environment for players of all ages to reach their full potential. It provides a clear pathway from young players who are learning the basic skills in the game up to senior competitive football. We have also expanded to offer boxing and other multi sports to offer even more variety for young people.
