Sheffield & Hallamshire FA have a new Centre of Excellence for disabled players in Sheffield, with more planned in the key population sites of the County FA region in the future.

The Centre of Excellence Sessions are held at All Saints Sports College (Goals Centre), 95 Norfolk Park, Sheffield every Sunday between 2 – 4pm.

Brian Peck, Head of Football Development from Sheffield & Hallamshire FA said “The Centre of Excellence has been set up to provide an opportunity for disabled players to get together with other players, and received specialised coaching from our pool of qualified, and experienced staff”

Prior to the Centre of Excellence being launched, all coaches attended a special training course in order to deliver the specialised sessions and programmes, designed to develop attending players, to the best of their abilities.

The Centre of Excellence also provides a pathway for talented players to be selected for one of the 8 England Disability Squads.

If you are interested, or know someone who would like to join our sessions please contact Brian Peck, Head of Football Development on 0114 241 4992 or email brian.peck@sheffieldfa.com
