Deaf Friendly Football Clubs

Below is a list of clubs who have signed up to the NDCS Deaf Friendly Football Club Pledge and agree to make their club ‘deaf aware’.

Most clubs in this section will be running mainstream teams for children and young people. Their coaches will have received basic deaf awareness training through the Coaching Deaf Footballers Course.

Some of the clubs are our DFFC Partner Clubs and are listed as such. These clubs may be running deaf specific coaching sessions for children and young people.

Please feel free to contact any of the clubs to find out how you can get involved, either through playing or coaching!
