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
Inclusive Football For All
The beautiful game has no boundaries.
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.
Hampshire 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.
Disability football within Hampshire is continually evolving with lots of opportunities available to all who wish to be involved in the game. Hampshire FA’s aim is to retain existing provision and then develop opportunities in other areas of Hampshire to make disability football accessible to all.
