Sessions take place on a weekly and are focussed on helping disabled children have fun, build their confidence and make new friends.

England Para Football Talent Pathway
We want to give more players with specific impairments the opportunity to play for our England Para teams and get them on the England Para Talent Pathway.
Our England Para Talent Pathway aims to find players who are ‘hidden’ in mainstream clubs, whose impairments may not be immediately obvious. We want these players to stay with their club to continue to play for their teams, as this is often the best format for a player’s continued development. While playing their usual format of football, we are encouraging players to engage with the England Para Talent Pathway to explore their potential and discover new ways to play the game to suit them.
