What to Expect
Term time on Fridays
Launching 17th April!
Bloomsbury’s weekly sessions give young adults the space to develop their blind football skills in a fun and safe environment. The sessions will get players familiar with Blind Football; a format of the game which follows FIFA futsal rules with some key adaptations including playing with with IBSA-approved sound footballs and eyeshades.
Sessions typically start with a structured warm-up and movement-based activities, followed by targeted drills designed to develop key footballing skills. Led by the experienced coaches, players will also learn essential on-pitch communication techniques and spatial-awareness strategies, gradually building towards competitive Blind Football match play.
Please note that this session is open to all visually impaired players aged 16-25. Nevertheless, this session specialises in building confidence playing the blind-specific format of the game.
This session is held indoors at Maria Fidelis Catholic School, near Euston Station. We look forward to welcoming you!
We never want finances to be a barrier to playing football. Bloomsbury Football Foundation provides financial assistance, and if this could support you, please apply here: Financial Assistance
