Gloucestershire FA Ability Counts Youth League

The Gloucestershire FA Ability Counts Youth League is a football league for young people with disabilities in Gloucestershire. It was formed in 2022-23 to provide players with an opportunity to play competitive football in a supportive environment.

The league is open to players aged 16 and under with a range of disabilities, including physical, learning and sensory disabilities. Players are divided into teams based on their ability, rather than their age.

The league is also hoping to develop links with other disability football leagues in the UK. This would allow players to progress to higher levels of competition, and it would also help to raise the profile of disability football in Gloucestershire.

The Gloucestershire FA Ability Counts Youth League is a great opportunity for young people with disabilities to play football. The league is well-run and supportive, and the standard of play is high. If you have a child with a disability who is interested in football, I would encourage you to get in touch with the league.
