Get involved

We'd love to welcome you to our ShrewsAbility sessions, so come along and join the fun!

ShrewsAbility sessions are our specialised disability sports programmes which run every week.  Each session caters to the needs of multiple disabilities.

Coaches deliver specific sessions aimed at those who have Down Syndrome and Cerebral Palsy, along with PAN football which is an all inclusive session for those with any kind of disability.

For anyone who wants to come and have a go, you are able to attend your first two sessions for free! (Excluding Ludlow sessions) 

Sessions available

A programme which is supported by the Down Syndrome Association to support the development of players. We have passionate staff that work alongside each player to work to the individual needs of the footballer.

16+ Cerebral Palsy Football 

A football session for children and young adults with cerebral palsy. Whether the players are ambulant or are supported by frames or crutches we adapt the session to meet their needs yet challenge them to improve week by week.

A new session set up in partnership with England Amputee Football Association to support amputees, people with limb deficiencies and persons with restricted use of limbs, with the opportunity to play football locally, nationally and internationally.
