SaintsAbility – Saints Foundation

SaintsAbility offers regular football sessions for people of all ages with physical and cognitive impairments. Daytime, evening and weekend community sessions are available at various venues across the county.

Thanks to the Premier League/BT Disability fund, that the Saints Foundation go the extra mile to inspire the next generation and to showcase their ability rather than their disability.

“SaintsAbility has meant so much to him. It’s given him a sense of belonging, where he has felt part of a team and made many lifelong friends.” Chris Steel – Father of SaintsAbility participant

Open Access Sessions SaintsAbility

SaintsAbility provide football and multi-sports activities to primary and secondary SEN schools with links for the young people to open access sessions in the evenings and during the weekends.

There are also sessions during the day for adults (16+) to enjoy football. At Saints Foundation we believe that everybody should have the opportunity to enjoy football. This is why a pathway has been created to enable participants attending the engaging open access sessions to play more football if they wish.

Participants who wish to play competitively will be signposted to inclusive teams that are involved in our Hampshire Pan Disability League.

More information and the timetable can be found here.
