Disability Football

From grassroots to the elite game, whether you're a coach or a player,  here is how you can take part in disability football!

There has never been a better time to get involved and play football, whatever your ability level. There are now more opportunities than ever to play football if you have a disability.

Worcestershire FA believes in flexible, inclusive and accessible playing opportunities for everyone, and are committed to delivering a range of opportunities for players with a disability to access football at various levels across the county.

Details are listed below of our current affiliated inclusive football clubs as well as some recreational football opportunities for players with physical disabilities, learning needs or mental health issues to participate in football. If you would like details of below clubs and teams please contact Issey Lee-Fisher (contact details below).

Disability football is delivered across the following formats of age banding: 5-8, 8-12, 12-16, 16+ and Adults (open age) and also can be mixed gender across all age groups.

If you or anyone you know has a physical, learning disability or mental health challenges who would like to play, coach, referee or volunteer in football then let us know and get in touch with Ben Langworthy. Worcestershire FA would like to assist and help raise awareness to provide a more inclusive approach to the game.

Football is 'For All' – and almost one in five of us has a long-standing limiting disability, illness or condition. The FA have released online learning modules to help provide insights into disability football coaching. 

This learning lasts 30 minutes and examines how to support the individuals in your team, whatever their ability level.
