Where can I find football coaching opportunities for someone with sight loss?

kathrynmcauley

I am supporting someone who has trained as a football coach. He now has sight loss, but still has some vision. He still wants to be a football coach.

I would like to know what opportunities there are for him in this area? Who should he talk to, what courses or jobs are available.

Thank you

Kathryn

Hi,

Blind football is quite big in the UK. They have teams across the country as well as playing internationally and in the paralympic games. Perhaps looking for a blind football club in the local area would be a good starting point.

Hi @kathrynmcauley and a warm welcome to the community

I see OverlyAnxious has already provided some good advice! There is also British Blind Sport that may be helpful too😊
