Looe Town FC Launches Exciting New Comets Football Sessions for Children with Disabilities.  

Cornwall FA is delighted to share the news of an inspiring new opportunity for children in the Looe area, as Looe Town FC proudly launches “Comets” – a fun, inclusive football session designed especially for boys and girls aged 5 to 11 with disabilities. 

Comets is part of The FA’s national initiative aimed at creating a welcoming, flexible and playful football experience for young people with a broad range of impairments and health conditions. As a pan-disability programme, Comets brings children together in a safe, supportive environment where the only rule is: Just Be You. 

Starting this June, sessions will run every Monday from 6–7pm at Looe Town FC (PL13 1NN) and are open to children and families looking for a place to play, have fun, and build friendships through football. 

Rachael, one of the lead coaches at Looe Town FC, shared her excitement: 

“It means a lot for Looe Town Football Club to be able to offer this activity to local children and their families. Our aim is to build up the opportunities available at the club, and this is a really important one to start with - especially with the increasing number of children with SEN needs in local schools and the limited resources available in the area.” 

The sessions are carefully planned to include activities that help improve balance, coordination, strength and agility, while also nurturing teamwork and positive social interaction. A sensory area will be available, providing a calm space with fidget toys and quiet time for those who may need a break from the action. 

“We also recognise that friendships are a basic need for everyone,” Rachael added. “What better way to build positive relationships with others than in a safe space full of fun and energy.” 

Both Rachael and her coaching partner Ella are fully trained and committed to making each session a joyful, pressure-free experience where every child can feel confident and included
