Fulham FC Foundation have expanded our Pan DisAbility provision to offer Female specific sessions; for women and girls with any form of physical, learning and/or sensory disability or additional need.
These sessions aim to provide a safe and welcoming environment to play football, suited to the needs of the players, ensuring it is one that encourages social development and friendships.
Research shows that women and girls often find it harder to get involved in football, and this is especially true for women and girls with additional needs, with 1.5 million fewer women being physically active each week compared to men.
Fulham’s DisAbility programme focuses on the ability, rather than disability, of all players and allows for a level playing field for our women and girls to have the same chances to showcase their football skills and enjoy the game; whether this be for a beginner or a more experienced player.
Fulham’s Female Pan DisAbility sessions run on a Saturday morning at Fulham FC Training Ground, during school term time. Sessions run from 9am for Juniors (5-16 years) followed by the Adults aged 16+ from 10.10am.
To celebrate International Women’s Day, Fulham are offering a free taster session to any female player who would like to try our Pan DisAbility Sessions on Saturday 9th March.
“We are very grateful to be able to continue running our Female Pan DisAbility football session at Motspur Park, a fantastic facility used by both the Fulham Men’s and Women’s first teams for training. The campaign theme for International Women's Day 2024 is Inspire Inclusion. When women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment. And we are proud to be able to offer disabled women and girls with a place that they can play football, not be judged and be free to be themselves.” - Katy Shephard, DisAbility Development Manager
