Club becomes FA Comets Centre for disabled footballers!

We are so proud of this one.

The club has been a leader in the county in getting anyone who wants to play football being given the opportunity to.

We put on sessions for hearing impaired children over 6 years ago.

We put in place training sessions for autistic children 6 years ago AND

for the last 4 years have been providing weekly sessions for autistic children aged 8+ culminating in 5 autistic teams now in place!

Our ambition has always been to provide football for as many young footballers who just happen to have a disability as possible.

WE are delighted to announce that the club has received confirmation from The FA that it is an FA Comets Club!

Comets is a recreational, pan-disability football programme for disabled boys and girls aged between 5 and 11. Pan-disability is the largest format of disability football, which sees players with a broad range of impairments and health conditions play together.

Comets offers a new, flexible and inclusive way of playing, one that’s all about playfulness, friendships and having fun. More than anything, Comets is football that breaks the old rules and replaces them with a brand new one: JUST BE YOU!

Not only that, we aim to provide similar opportunities for children aged 12 to 18.

We are looking to start the sessions in April and will probably be Mondays 6 til 7.

More information to follow, but if you have a child who you think would like to get involved or you’d like to become involved in the delivery as a coach or volunteer – please get in touch or comment below or message us.
