Shelbourne FC is committed to develop football opportunities for all players with a disability in the club’s local community. The club has taken a leading step to promote and encourage players with a disability to participate in football. The club has also appointed an Inclusion Officer.
Shelbourne FC recognises that some people or communities start from a disadvantaged position and may need proactive assistance from the club to gain access to all opportunities that exist in football.
Everybody regardless of their ability should have the opportunity to access football. Through the club’s ‘Football for All’ initiative, players will receive their training at local clubs providing regular football, a feeling of belonging to a club, competition, and a safe environment in which to express themselves.
Shelbourne FC will create opportunities for people with disabilities across all disability groups. Its pan disability approach will ensure high participation and integration of all disabilities forging new partnerships for Shelbourne FC within the disability community.
