Participants are taught by a professional coach with each session focused on developing the core fundamentals of football. While participants are learning physical skills, they are simultaneously increasing their own social and emotional abilities. It also gives them a rare opportunity to interact with adults other than their parents and with other children with Down’s Syndrome.  An added plus is that the parents have formed a tightly knit support network where they can discuss issues with each other and provide support.

Hintergrund
The project aims to provide children with Down’s Syndrome the same benefits of being on a team as their able-bodied peers and to improve the participants’ overall physical, social and emotional health. It was launched in 2008 and is held weekly at an indoor facility.
