Norwich City Deaf Youth Football

The NDCS, Norwich City Football in the Community and Active Norfolk are working together to create an exciting new opportunity for deaf children to play football in Norwich!

The first ever deaf friendly football festival took place at Carrow Park, Norwich on Saturday 5 May 2007.

Jeremy Goss, a former Norwich City player and now their Sporting Ambassador, officially opened the event that took place in the shadow of Norwich City's Carrow Road ground.

The festival was a fantastic day for everyone involved. 29 deaf children took part in coaching sessions and games organised by Norwich Football in the Community coaches with support from Active Norfolk, NDCS volunteers and deaf coaches.

The children and parents also had the treat of a guided tour around the ground!

At the end of the day, all the children were given certificates and goodies to take home. Thank you for everyone who took part for making the day such a great success!

Exclusive deaf coaching sessions organised by Norwich City Football in the Community will be back under way on Saturday mornings 10am-11am!

The experienced Norwich City FITC coaches will be delivering the coaching sessions alongside support from qualified deaf coaches.

The latest set of coaching session have now finished, but watch this space for more in the near future!
