Our Pan-Disability Sessions
Bloomsbury Football Foundation’s Pan-Disability Football sessions welcome players with a wide range of impairments and health conditions to play together in an adapted format of the game.
The specialised coaches at the sessions champion a player-centred approach to football. This framework focuses on understanding each individual players’ strengths and needs; providing a safe environment for young people to play, build friendships, and be themselves.

England Pathways
Bloomsbury hosts England Talent Hubs — the first phase of the England Para Pathway. These hubs are for young people aged 7-21 who have been selected to join the FA Para Talent Hub Programme. The programme provides localised, regular, high quality coaching sessions alongside any other football that players are currently engaging in.
Monthly sessions will act as a “check-in” point allowing our coaches to assess any further progress and development. This engagement and ongoing assessment then facilitates any potential further referral through the pathway to take place. Our aim is to ensure that players are always participating in the most appropriate level of the programme for their own development.
