Every Wednesday we hold a disability session at Hyndburn Leisure Centre for all abilities and impairments. The sessions are full of fun football activities such as coaching and games.

We encourage anyone who loves football to come to a session and give it a go. All staff that take the sessions are all fully trained and have experience and are confident working with a mixture of abilities.

A typical session starts with a warm up, a fun based football activity such as dribbling followed by a small sided game and to finish the session with a penalty shootout!

The aim of the sessions is to provide a safe and fun environment for anyone with a disability that wants to play football but may feel intimidated playing in a mainstream session. It’s a great way to meet new people while keeping active and can help build self-esteem and confidence.

Lee Walsh commented, ‘It’s great to see people of all abilities enjoying playing football and being active.’

If you or someone you know is over the age of 16, have a disability then come along on a Wednesday at 12.30pm and give a session a try.

Only £2 and there’s no need to book!
