CP Sport has developed new resources to support the growth of frame football, as part of a wider campaign from the Football Association aimed at helping disabled footballers return to action as Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.
The new frame football skills cards have been developed by the charity, which helps people with cerebral palsy to be active, and will be made available via the FA’s Football Your Way online information hub.
Football Your Way is designed to help support and motivate disabled people to feel confident and empowered to take part in football-based activities, whether that is at home or in a local park. The hub provides resources for all ages and abilities, from skill demonstrations to challenges and downloadable resources to suit all levels.
Thanks to funding support from Toyota Parasport, CP Sport has developed the activity and skills cards to support individuals to play frame football at home, in the garden or in outdoor spaces with family and friends. They are a great resource to keep players practising and engaged in football. Clubs can also use these cards to support their players.
Adi Fawcett, Chief Operating Officer for the charity, said: “CP Sport is extremely proud to be a part of the Football Your Way campaign.
“Our mission at CP Sport is to provide as many opportunities as we can for people with CP to enjoy sport and we work closely with our key partners to make this happen.
“It has been a privilege to work so closely with the FA on this project, to have the financial support of Toyota Parasport and to have produced a resource as part of this campaign that can also be accessed as part of our frame football rental service. I would like to thank the FA for involving us in this project and Toyota Parasport for the funding that made this all possible in the first place.
“I am extremely proud of the team and would like to thank them all for their hard work in developing the skills cards resource. We are excited to be a part of this growing sport and look forward to seeing more people enjoying frame football as we all start to return to play.”
