International Day of Persons with Disabilities (December 3rd)

2nd Dec 2024

Did you know that only one in four children with a disability regularly take part in physical activity at their school?

Did you know that, in partnership with Grove United Youth FC, Crusaders FC recently launched an inclusive football programme?

Specifically for children aged 7-15 with a learning, physical or sensory impairment, our rapidly-growing joint football programme is always on the look out for new players! Since its establishment in Summer 2024, our sessions have grown to 20+ registered children and we regularly participate in the Irish FA Foundation Junior Disability League in Belfast.

Training currently takes place every Sunday from 11:00am to 12:00pm at Loughshore Education Centre on the Shore Road, and following a brief pause for the Christmas period, sessions will resume in January 2025 at a local indoor venue (details to be confirmed). If you would like some more information please contact either Lawrence or Sammy on the numbers on the graphic..

Football is for everyone, and our ethos is centre upon inclusivity - we aim to provide a safe space for kids with a learning, physical or sensory impairment to participate and enjoy their football under the guidance of qualified coaches.
