Mixed-ability coaching
Our team welcomes people of all ages, abilities and genders to get involved with our footballers who have
learning disabilities or autism.
We train weekly with skills practice, fitness tests, and short matches. As
a volunteer you'll join in the sessions with our participants who have learning disabilities or autism,
helping them to achieve in the various exercises
Occasional tournaments
Kith & Kids United take part in a tournament two-three times each year when we play in competition with other
teams which include people who have a learning disability or autism. You'll play in the matches alongside our
participants and celebrate their achievements too!
"It's great to be able to do some coaching with Kith & Kids. It's both serious and fun at the same time."
Pavel, 29 (Financial Analyst)
