Leicester City Football in the Community coaching staff will be supporting coaches from the two Clubs’ to deliver football fun and skill sessions. It is a great local opportunity for potential new footballers to come along, have fun, make new friends and be given an opportunity to become part of the new Inclusive (Disability) Football Club, becoming a valuable team member.
Players will then have the opportunity to train every week and play for their team in the County Inclusive Football League, where the ethos of all coaches, managers, volunteers and players taking part is Fun, Fair-Play and Respect.
Inclusive Football is played in a safe and friendly environment, where players can learn and develop their football skills and be encouraged to lead a healthy life style by being involved in physical activity. Football is also a great tool to enhance and develop players’ social skills and networks and can help to build confidence and raise self esteem by taking part in ‘our beautiful game’.
