Inclusive Clubs

Sheffield & Hallamshire FA are in the process of identifying mainstream grassroots football clubs who wish to receive guidance, support and training in order to be recognised as an inclusive football club for people with disabilities and additional needs.

The aim is that players with a disability or additional needs who are able to play in a mainstream football environment should have the opportunity to do so. However, it is important to ensure that this is a safe, welcoming and understanding environment so that if there are any reasonable adjustments that need to be made when accommodating such a player the club can do so in and informed, appropriate and sensitive manner.

Any mainstream club interested in becoming an inclusive club should contact Chris Bly, Senior Football Development Officer at Sheffield & Hallamshire FA on 0114 241 4992 or send an email to seniofdo@sheffieldfa.com.
