Disabilty

Posted on: Fri 19 Feb 2010

Make Every Player Count project is aiming to increase the number of disabled adults, males and females involved in regular football opportunities - supporting and encouraging disabled people to realise their potential and enhance their life, social and community skills through their involvement in football.

We will hope to achieve this in a number of different ways, such as:

- To deliver a coaching programme within schools and colleges for students over the age of 16.
- To deliver multi skills using football as a tool in day care centres and organisations providing services for people with more severe learning and physical disabilities.
- To identify and co-ordinate mental health groups to participate in regular football and competitive opportunities.
- To support the provision of excluded and 'NEET' groups to take part in regular football opportunities.
- To provide pathways for players to become involved with their Local inclusive Football Club, by supporting the transition from colleges and day centres creating a vital link between the players and Inclusive Clubs.
- To support the development of the Inclusive (Ability Counts) County Leagues increasing adult participation.
