We’re extremely proud, as what started as an idea, has grown into delivering our propose to ensure Football Is Available For Everyone. Since starting our Fun Friday Pan-Disability Football Sessions back in November, we have over 28 regular attendees (both children & adults) from the Colne Valley area, far parts of Huddersfield, Bradford & Halifax, enjoying football. Throughout this time, we’ve learnt a lot & we continue to do so. We also appreciated the need to keep everyone fully informed. With this we have created an information pack to provide you with an insight of what to expect from our fun filled sessions. We apologise, this may be a little late, but it will hopefully help us & others attending in the future. If you have a child or are an adult who would like to join our sessions, please sign up here Please help us spread the word by sharing this post below.

This weekend (2nd - 3rd March 2024) is National Silent Support Weekend. What is Silent Support? Silent Support means players and coaches can focus on the game, not the noise. By asking spectators on the side lines to show support through applause only, we’re creating a space where players have the freedom to own their game. The game is different when you’re in it. Your players are here for the applause, not the shouting. Action not distraction. Silent Support gives them the opportunity to trust their instincts and learn for themselves. For coaches. Coaches deserve a safe space to champion their players away from interruptions. This weekend gives coaches the chance to see their players work in a completely different way.
