Comets
Comets disability football programme
Where playfulness and friendships come together.
A space for every child
Comets provides a safe space for disabled children to play football, belong and just be themselves, allowing them to use their imagination to take them to a world where the possibilities are endless!
In Wiltshire, we are currently in the process of selecting the centres that will run Comets. Should you wish for your child to take part in Comets, get in touch with us and we will be able to put you in touch with your nearest centre.
So, what is Comets?
Comets is a recreational, pan-disability football programme for disabled boys and girls aged between 5 and 11. Pan-disability is the largest format of disability football, which sees players with a broad range of impairments and health conditions play together.
Comets offers a new, flexible and inclusive way of playing, one that’s all about playfulness, friendships and having fun. More than anything, Comets is football that breaks the old rules and replaces them with a brand new one: JUST BE YOU.
