We would like to invite coaches who would like to learn more about Autism and how you can be inclusive within your coaching sessions. The course is designed to provide an in depth look at Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and how football coaching can be improved, adapted and extended to include all individuals with this disability. This course will provide coaches with tools to create enjoyable and progressive sessions for people with ASD.

The sessions will be delivered by ‘SMILE Through Sport’. SMILE Through Sport CIC is a not for profit organisation founded in 2013 by Paralympian Stephen Miller MBE. It combines the services of inspirational speaking, training courses and disability sport development.
