Westerhope United with the support of Northumberland FA has been approved to deliver pan disability football sessions as part of the Comets programme.
This is football but not as you
know it – results, stats and
performances be damned.
It’s not traditional; it’s where
playfulness and friendships
come together.
It’s a safe space where disabled
children can believe and belong.
It steps outside the usual
parameters with a bespoke,
flexible way of playing. Because
this is football that breaks all the
old rules and replaces them with
a new one: just be you.
What is the Comets Disability
Football Programme?
Comets is a recreational,
pan-disability football offer
for disabled children aged 5-11.
The programme is focused on
helping disabled children have
fun, whilst building confidence,
independence and social
relationships. Comets provides
an environment in which
participants can feel safe
and belong.
All sessions are delivered by
FA qualified coaches, who have
received specific programme
training and guidance to provide a
safe place for disabled children to
try football for the first time and
develop key skills.
Stay tuned for further news on this exciting opportunity.
