Learning Disablity Football Sessions
What is our Learning Disability Football Programme?
“Since 2006, Boston United Community Foundation has been delivering opportunities for children and adults with disabilities to play sport. The programme has worked in various schools in South Lincolnshire as well as offer a variety of sports coaching sessions.”
Our disability programme currently works with various individuals and organisations to deliver sports activities to people with mental and physical disabilities.
Currently, over 100 people access our disability sessions every week. To help encourage even more people to participate, we established PAN disability groups that allow players with different disabilities to play as one team under the Positive Pilgrims banner. We currently have a number of PAN Disability teams that play in the Lincolnshire PAN Disability league.
Our disability football team has previously won the FA Northern Area Final, reaching the inaugural FA Disability Cup Final. The PAN disability squads at Boston United include players with poor mental health, visual impairments, downs syndrome, cerebral palsy, learning difficulties and hearing impairments. The teams train every week in Boston, and is delivered by our team of qualified coaches.
Join us every Friday Indoor for a fun, inclusive football session designed for adults aged 16+ with learning disabilities at the Princess Royal Sports Arena. The indoor session runs from 10:00am – 11:00am and provides a safe/welcoming environment where participants can enjoy football, stay active, and socialise with others. The cost is £5 per session.
The session focuses on fun, engagement, and participation with activities adapted to suit different abilities and support needs. Players will take part in a variety of warm-ups, skill-based games and small-sided matches helping to develop confidence, teamwork and basic football skills while enjoying the game.
Our friendly coaches ensure that everyone feels supported and included whilst encouraging players to build confidence, make new friends, and enjoy being active in a positive and relaxed atmosphere.
