North Riding County FA works hard to develop disability football opportunities across Middlesbrough, York and Scarborough. We work closely with key partners such as the English Federation of Disability Sport, education, family support groups and local authorities to ensure that playing, coaching and refereeing opportunities are inclusive.
Disability football is now thriving with new clubs developing all the time. Numerous FA Coaching Disabled Footballers courses are organised throughout the year alongside coach’s seminars, fun days and schools festivals.
Here at North Riding County FA we are determined to provide all disabled people with the pathway to reach their potential either as a player, coach, referee or administrator. With our commitment to the FA Disability Strategy there is much planned including, the ongoing development of our North East & Yorkshire Cerebral Palsy Centre of Excellence in York; the North Riding County FA player development centre in York, promoting and developing the county Ability Counts League; developing a more formal competitive structure for the delivery of football in special schools and providing greater access to training courses for volunteers.
