Talent Talks - Issue 4

ETD continued
provide players with a range of abilities the chance
to participate in the game (see list at the bottom).
In addition 13 County FAs and four professional
clubs who were successful in being granted licences
are hosting events between now and the end of
June (see list on the right).
As well as the above we are now starting to work
with impairment specific organisations such as CP
Sport, Royal National College for the Blind,
Limpower and the Wheelchair FA to expand both
opportunities and programme awareness amongst
these groups.
Arguably the most exciting development is the work
being undertaken in embedding players who
participate in Powerchair football fully into the
talent pathway – in the future selected participants
will be able to enjoy the undoubted benefits of what
the programme can bring to the development of
players.
