In an exciting new initiative, Fulham FC Foundation has teamed up with CP Sport to launch monthly Female Cerebral Palsy Football Sessions, creating a unique opportunity for young girls with cerebral palsy or acquired brain injuries to engage in football. The sessions, held at Fulham FC's state-of-the-art Training Ground, take place on Saturdays once a month from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm, and are open to females aged 5-16 years.
This inclusive program welcomes players of all abilities—whether they are trying football for the first time or are already passionate players. The sessions are designed to create a fun, supportive environment where participants can develop their skills, build confidence, and enjoy the beautiful game alongside peers with similar experiences.
As football continues to grow in popularity among girls, this initiative offers a crucial platform for those with cerebral palsy or acquired brain injuries to experience the joys of the sport, reinforcing Fulham FC Foundation’s dedication to inclusivity and community engagement.
Each session will be led by experienced coaches, ensuring every participant receives personalised guidance to suit their abilities and needs.
CP Sport, a leading organisation that supports people with cerebral palsy through sport, is equally excited about the collaboration.
"We are looking forward to working in collaboration with Fulham FC and their new Female Cerebral Palsy Football sessions! Whether you are new to Football or already playing, come and get involved. These are some very exciting times ahead for CP Football," Rich Kerr, Football Development Officer, CP Sport
"Our partnership with CP Sport is a wonderful step towards providing opportunities for young girls to be active, make friends, and develop both on and off the pitch. These sessions are not just about football—they're about creating a sense of community, fostering teamwork, and helping these young athletes realise their full potential. We are committed to breaking down barriers, and these sessions are a great example of how we can create more inclusive sporting opportunities," Katy Shephard, DisAbility Development Manager, Fulham FC Foundation
