Did you know that The Football Association runs England teams for
players with disabilities? |
|
|
|
|
|
These teams train regularly and represent England in
friendly internationals as well as European and World Championships.
Many outstanding and talented individuals have won international
honours (collecting England caps along the way!). This could be you!!
The FA is set to hold trials for the Partially Sighted Development
Squad. The aim of this day is to identify talented partially sighted
players who could progress to wear the ‘Three Lions’ in European or
World Championships.
Individuals being invited or nominated to attend may not have
previously been aware of the opportunity to represent their country or
aware that they classify for one of the representative teams. Players
that The FA wish to identify are possibly already participating in a
good level of mainstream or disability football. There may even be
some individuals who are outstanding athletes in other sports but feel
that they can make the switch to football.
The FA is inviting individuals to enroll to attend the day directly.
However, and most importantly, The FA is calling upon parents/carers,
schools, colleges, universities, clubs or Centre of Excellence staff
to identify (and nominate) individuals that they deem to have the
potential to progress at this level. This is a valuable opportunity
that should not be missed. |
