Soccability Tournament
Middlesbrough Football Club in the Community was proud to host a Soccability Tournament last month, with students from across the Tees Valley taking part in the three day event.
The teams, which were from primary and secondary schools and post 16 provisions, were pitted against each other over the three days, with overall winners in each category.
The overall Primary School category winners were Ash Trees School from Billingham, and Holmwood School from Middlesbrough. Winner of both the Secondary School and Post 16 categories was Beverley School from Middlesbrough.
All teams thoroughly enjoyed the day and relished the opportunity to compete against other schools. Genna Hewison, project worker for MFCiC said “All three days were a great success, everybody enjoyed themselves and some excellent football was played”
Soccability is a fun training session held each week at MFCiC’s Eston Leisure Complex, which provides activities, games, and football participation and competitions for children and adults with a disability.
The aim of the Soccability session is to offer opportunities to play football regardless of ability. All coaches are F.A qualified through the F.A ‘Coaching Disabled Footballers Course’ and offer support and encouragement to the players.
Junior sessions are held on Saturday mornings from 9.30-11.00am, and Adult sessions are on Sundays from 2.00-4.00pm. All sessions cost £3, contact Genna Hewison on 0871 2821280 or genna.hewison@mfcp.co.uk for more information.
