Disability Football Training

Inclusive Football Development

We aim to create a warm and welcoming space where every child—no matter their abilities or needs—can enjoy learning football at their own pace. We try to make it all about having fun, growing as individuals, and working together as a team, with extra care and support for children with SEN and SEMH needs.

SENsational Football Training!!

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new Disability Football Training Sessions at The Avenue School, Tilehurst! Thursdays 6.00 – 7.00 starting on 19^th June 2025 – hurry and grab a place!

Important information for Parents and Guardians

Parents and guardians are required to remain at the training sessions at all times. Coaches are not permitted to take children to the toilet. If a child is injured, unwell, or distressed, they will be sent to their parent or guardian for care.

If a parent or guardian must leave the training facility briefly, they must inform the coaches beforehand. At the end of the session, children will be lined up and handed over directly to their parent or guardian. Compliance with these guidelines is essential for the safety and well-being of all children.
