Sunderland Deaf Youth Football

NDCS and Sunderland AFC Foundation are working together to create an exciting new opportunity for deaf children to play football.

Want to improve your football skills and make new friends? The NDCS Deaf Friendly Football Club project, in partnership with Sunderland AFC, are holding an exciting football festival for deaf children and young people at the Crowtree Leisure Centre in central Sunderland!

Children will take part in coaching activities and mini-games organised by fully qualified Sunderland AFC
Foundation coaches with full communication support provided by NDCS volunteers.

The day is suitable for players of all abilities, boys and girls. Young people will be grouped according to age and ability.

When the festival has taken place, Sunderland AFC will be running regular coaching sessions for deaf players.

We will announce the coaching session details on the day of the festival but if you cannot make it then watch this space for more information.
