We want to give more players with specific impairments the opportunity to play for The England Para teams and get them on the England Para Talent Pathway. 

We’re looking for those with cerebral palsy, visual or hearing impairments who have the skills and a dream, to step up and play for their country.

Do you know somebody who fits the bill?

Our England Para Talent Pathway aims to find players who are ‘hidden’ in mainstream clubs, whose impairments may not be immediately obvious.

We want these players to join the England Para Talent Pathway in addition to staying with their club to continue to play for their teams, as this is often the best format for a player’s continued development.

To support the identification of talented players in Sussex, Sussex County FA will run in partnership with Albion in the Community, an annual England Talent Day (ETD) in June each year. England Talent Days are recognised as the first selective environment in the player pathway. 

ETDs will not be viewed as player development environments but will identify and signpost players to the ‘right’ environment at that point in time.

Albion in the Community (AITC) are one of the biggest providers of disability football in Sussex and will be leading on the Talent Programme. 

 The following impairment groups will be eligible for the programme: 

• Learning Disability 

• Cerebral Palsy 

• Partially Sighted 

• Blind 

• Deaf (Male and Female) 

• Amputee
