SYL Football development for young people with disabilities

SYL are pleased to announce that Gary Lawless has joined the League Management Team as  a Football Development Officer with responsibilities around promoting football for children & young people with disabilities. Anyone who would like to know more about forthcoming plans should contact Gary on gary.lawless@wsyl.org.uk  

"Surrey Youth League are raising the awareness of the need to develop grassroots football for children with disabilities. In order to achieve this it is anticipated to capture experiences and good practise from Clubs and Coaches and channel this back through the League. In addition, the league in partnership with the Surrey FA will be putting on a workshop in January 2011 where Clubs will be invited to attend.  

- Frank Thompson - General Secretary

 Through my own experiences of teaching the game and a parent of a child with disabilities I can tell you that it has been the most satisfying part of my coaching career, the sense of achievement, building of confidence and ultimate inclusion has changed lives. The joy on the children's faces is infectious."
