Worcester Allstars Juniors

Ages 5-16

At Worcestershire Disability Football Club, we welcome children and young people of all abilities to enjoy football in a fun, safe and inclusive environment.

Our junior sessions are designed to give children a positive introduction to football while developing confidence, physical skills and friendships. Through engaging games and age-appropriate coaching, players improve their balance, coordination, communication and teamwork while learning fundamental football skills.

Parents and carers are required to remain on site throughout all junior sessions.

Our Facilities

Training takes place at the University of Worcester, St John's Campus, using both the 3G Astroturf.

These secure facilities provide a safe environment where children can enjoy football, explore the space confidently and take time out in a quieter area if needed.

Our Coaching Team

Our junior section is led by Lead Junior Coach, Laura Lillis, and supported by a dedicated team of qualified coaches and volunteers.

Our coaches have extensive experience working with children and young people with additional needs and disabilities. All coaches hold current FA Introduction to Coaching Football and/or UEFA C Licence qualifications (or higher), alongside up-to-date FA Safeguarding Children and FA Emergency First Aid certifications.

Every coach and volunteer has an Enhanced DBS check and is committed to creating a safe, inclusive and enjoyable environment where every child can thrive.

Many of our volunteers also use Signalong to support communication, helping ensure our sessions are accessible and inclusive for all players.

This reflects the current FA coaching pathway, where the old Level 1 qualification has been replaced by FA Introduction to Coaching Football, and Level 2 has been replaced by the UEFA C Licence. It also includes the safeguarding and first aid qualifications that are expected of FA Accredited club coaches.

Parent comments

"Thank you so much for giving Emily this opportunity, she often gets left our because of her disability. Your club has made the world of difference."

"The children are all smiling and happy and enjoying each session which speaks volumes for the training they are given"

"The coaches have a real understanding of the abilities of those who join the club and place them in the appropriate team."

Our players were invited to be mascots at Worcester Raiders.
We’d like to say a massive thank you to Worcester Raiders FC for a fantastic day! The players were offered the use of the box as a quiet space as well as being able to use the main stand.
What an amazing opportunity it was. Our juniors walked out onto the pitch with the players and cheered them on throughout the game. At half time our players were brought onto the pitch for a penalty shootout, with some cracking goals! At the end of the game we got to meet the Worcester Raiders players and were able to get some autographs and photos - massive thank you to all the players who took the time at the end of the game to meet us. 

END OF SEASON PARTY

Our junior teams celebrated the end of the season with a picnic & party at Worcester Woods last Sunday.

We are so proud of every single player, we’ve had such an amazing season & can’t wait to start back in September!

Massive thank you to all the parents for the wonderful picnic spread and to Newtown Sports Cerebral Palsy & PAN disability football team for lending us their gazebo!
