evening Neil,

i set up SEFC pan-disability junior football a year ago, and its amazing we have 29 young people with various disabilities.

i take it you hold your qualifications IE first aid, DBS, safeguarding and a coaching qualification, if not then try to get them done.

my advice then would be to do your groundwork on social media ask on there if any parents and there youngsters would be interested in sessions, set a date for a meeting with them to explain who you are why your doing it maybe a little presentation .

then go from there and dont be afraid to ask for coaches to help, the more you have the better for the younsters and yourself

all the best and well done for wanting to make a difference it really does

Hi Lee,

Thanks yeah we have a small group of 4 with coaches working in local SEN schools to develop a partnership. All qualifications are complete. I read from Darren earlier in the year there were some developments with these etc. 

I'm really enjoying the sessions and still looking for coaches to support but no takers yet. I deliver sports leaders qualifications and seeing how our young people on courses feel about using it as a volunteer experience. 

Sounds like you have done some excellent work to keep the session running and growing.
