What is the SWEMSA Adaptive Soccer Program?
SWEMSA is introducing an adaptive soccer program for children and youth aged 5-18, accommodating all abilities. This program aims to offer players with impairments or neurodiversity the chance to enhance physical literacy, explore soccer, show bravery, form friendships, and boost self-confidence.
The program fosters an inclusive setting and is tailored for children with any disability, impairment, or behavioral level.
