Not Just a Game
Stanistreet, Paul
Adults Learning, v16 n8 p18-19 Apr 2005
In this article, the author talks about Everton Football Club's Football in the Community programme, a disability football programme in the UK that helps disabled people come out of their shells and play an active role in life. Everton's disability football programme is about getting disabled people in, giving them help in moving on to take coaching qualifications. The programme is about more than just the game. It is about giving those who have always been told they can't, the opportunity to do.
