Through this initiative we have made football accessible for all the following levels of ability: Blind, Partially-Sighted, Deaf and Hearing Impaired (men and women’s teams), Cerebral Palsy, Learning Disabilities and Amputee football. Both clubs are fully represented within the NW Ability Counts League and the Manchester FA Ability Counts League and continue to develop further opportunities through their respective Disability Programmes
As Disability football continues to be more represented at a local club level within Merseyside through our network of Charter Standard Development and Community Clubs, Liverpool County FA will be working to develop a locally based Ability Counts league. By providing support to existing club coaches through the Coaching Disabled Footballers course and providing practical experience through the School to Club Link programme, we hope to develop a skilled workforce that is both competent and confident in delivering Disability football sessions.
If your club is interested in developing opportunities within Disability football or would like to find out more information about the Ability Counts Programme please contact Football Development Office on 0151 523 4488 ext 114
