Boroughbridge junior football club is calling for more girls and disabled players to join its teams training resumes next month.
The club has several successful teams but hopes to increase numbers in the girls and ability for all teams. The girls team need more members aged 7-13 years.
The ability for all team includes children with various disabilities. The club aims to support each child’s needs and give them the opportunity to play a sport that they may see as unattainable.
Each team plays in local junior leagues but children are welcome to train for fun if they don’t feel confident to play in a league straight away.
The club’s ability for all team are encouraged to enjoy the game regardless of disability.
Christopher Fahey, chairman and coach at the club, said:
“We’re currently looking to build our girls and disabled teams. For the girls teams we need girls aged 7-13 years to join and train with us. In time they could join our competing teams in the Harrogate League. If they don’t think they are ready for the league they can just come along and then train for fun.
“Our all abilities team usually trains together. The children have various disabilities and are all aged between 6-15 years. We tell everyone to just come down to train and we will support them.
