What those that played had to say about our games:

• “The staff are very nice and I love coming here”
• “I wish there was leagues for us to play in”
• “Skills for People help me in a good way”
• “I find it great!”
• “really down to earth coaches- some coaches can really focus more on training rather than playing football- this was more fun”
• “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed coming- I’ll definitely be back next year if it’s on”
• A support worker told us “[the person I support] looks forward to it, not just on the day but through the week- it can be hard to motivate him for other things but this is something he loves to do. He really looks forward to seeing everyone.”
