Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC

Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC was set up in April 2018 with a view to offering football coaching to local, challenged children who had little or no access to organised football sessions or a place to train, keep fit and enjoy socialising with other youngsters with similar challenges.

From an initial membership of 16 people we now have over 200 active members aged from 4 years old to 41 years old.

We have teams playing regularly in the Liverpool Ability Counts League at Under 13, Under 16 and Open Age. In our first season we are pleased to say that our teams won league titles in all age groups. A massive step up and a confidence booster for youngsters who had little or no previous experience of playing in or being part of a team.

Our little club grew so much in our first year that we were nominated for the North West Football Awards, a prestigious professional football award and we were the only non-professional club in attendance. We were very pleased and happy to win the ‘Promoting Inclusion’ award, a great achievement for such a young club and one of which we are extremely proud. We also won the LCFA Disability Club of the Year in the summer of 2019 which further proved to us that Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC was heading in the right direction and providing a valuable service for our children and parents.
