Inclusive Football
Hereford Lad’s Club has been running the Inclusive Football session at the Point 4 on Wednesdays (6.00 – 7.00pm) since September 2014. It is facilitated by F.A. qualified coach Nick Baker and caters for young players (12-16 and 17-25yrs age groups) with a range of disabilities. As the name suggests, the session is about providing an opportunity for the young players regardless of their disability or football aptitude – the focus is on participation, fitness and fun.
Here are some comments from the regular players:
“I like the warm up, jogging, playing a match and taking penalties – and seeing everyone”
“It’s fun football that matches my needs”
“I like being involved in a football team and being valued”
“It has taught me to be a team player”
“It gives a chance to play no matter what your difficulties are, to be involved in a team and feel valued”.
“Inclusive Football is good because we train to build up our skills and have fun with each other!”
