Disability
From grassroots to the elite game, whether you're a coach or a player, here is how you can take part in disability football
There has never been a better time to get involved and play football, whatever your ability level. There are now more opportunities than ever to play football if you have a disability.
Herefordshire FA believe in flexible, inclusive and accessible playing opportunities for everyone, and are committed to delivering a range of opportunities for players with a disability to access football at various levels across the county.
Details are listed below of our current affiliated inclusive football clubs as well as some recreational football opportunities for players with physical disabilities, learning needs or mental health issues to participate in football.
If you or anyone you know has a physical, learning disability or mental health challenges who would like to play, coach, referee or volunteer in football then let us know. The Herefordshire FA would like to assist and help raise awareness to provide more inclusive approach to the game!
