Coaches at the soccer school aim to train youngsters so they can take part in one of the mini soccer festivals that take place with like-minded clubs in the Nottinghamshire area.
A spokesperson for the club said: “If you have children with special needs or a disability that are keen to take up a sport and learn about football then why not bring them down to Calverton MWFC to have go.
“Yes, they’ll be nervous and shy but it won’t be long before they make new friends, grow in confidence, learn new skills and want to come again. Or, why not come down and have a chat with other parents and a look at how we do things?”
For further details please contact David Lee 07904 458723 or just turn up with training shoes, shin pads, and a drink on Monday nights at the club’s ground on Hollinwood Lane, in Calverton, between 6 and 7pm.
