About
Through specially designed coaching sessions, Able Kicks provides an inclusive space where players can develop football skills, build confidence, improve physical wellbeing and form lasting friendships. Sessions are tailored to meet individual needs, allowing participants to learn at their own pace while celebrating their achievements both on and off the pitch.
More than just a football programme, Able Kicks promotes inclusion, teamwork, respect and personal development. Coaches focus on creating positive experiences that help players grow in confidence, independence, communication and social skills. Families and carers are also supported as part of a wider community that values every participant and their unique strengths.
By making football accessible to all, Able Kicks is helping to create a more inclusive sporting landscape where everyone has the opportunity to experience the joy of the game, feel part of a team and reach their full potential. Whether a player is taking their first kick of a ball or developing their skills further, Able Kicks ensures that football truly is a game for everyone.

The different football groups are offered to provide opportunities for a wide range of participants with varying ages, abilities and motivations. Comets sessions were designed to introduce younger players to football in a fun and engaging environment, focusing on fundamental skills and enjoyment. Disability Recreation sessions ensured that individuals with additional needs could access football in an inclusive and supportive setting tailored to their abilities.
Just Play provided informal football opportunities for those who wanted to participate without the commitment of a competitive team, encouraging physical activity and social interaction.
Wild Cats is aimed at girls who were new to football or looking to build confidence in the sport, creating a welcoming and non-judgemental environment. Squad Girls offers older girls a chance to continue their football journey through regular participation, skill development, teamwork and social engagement. Together, these programmes helped make football accessible and enjoyable for a diverse range of participants
