AUTISM FOOTBALL CLUB
Ages: 5 years - 17 years
Autism Football Club is a fun football programme and the perfect opportunity for children and young people with an Autism Spectrum Disorder or a neurodiverse condition to play football in a safe environment with their peers.
Our team of coaches are vastly experienced in working with people who have ASD or are awaiting a diagnosis, and this helps create the perfect setting for players to take part in weekly football sessions that support the growth of each participant's confidence and football ability, whilst they are making new friends too.
Dundee United Para-Sports Club is dedicated to providing opportunities for people living with a disability to take part in group sports sessions with their peers in a supportive environment where everyone can thrive. We cannot provide one-to-one coaching, one-to-one supervision, or personal care at these sessions, however, we invite parents/guardians to stay during our sessions to provide this support to their child if required.
In addition to our weekly group coaching sessions, there are opportunities for appropriate players to join our Autism Football Team which takes part in the Autism Football Association’s leagues.
The first session of Autism Football Club is free to attend - book your free trial session below now or e-mail enquiries@dundeeunitedct.co.uk for more information.
