Bloomsbury X Para Football England Trial

On behalf of England Para Football, Bloomsbury Football is hosting England Talent Hubs — the first phase of the England Para Pathway. These hubs are for young people 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.

The Hubs will take place in the indoor sports hall at City of London Academy Islington, which is classified as a ‘Fully Accessible’ facility. The players will be split in groups according to age and, where appropriate, by para football stream for the session. On-pitch activities will start with warm-ups and foundation-building drills before breaking into small-sided games and matches. Throughout the session, the coaches will monitor the players and groups to ensure that play remains fun, safe and engaging for all players.

We welcome and encourage accompanying parents/guardians to stay for the entirety of the session
