Football
For All
Football For All is the FAI-backed programme that opens the game to players who need extra support to take part — and at Esker, it's a point of pride, not a side project.
Frame football pioneers
In 2016 Esker launched one of the first Frame Football programmes in the country, for players who use walking frames. From a first session of 8 players it grew to more than 20, and Esker sides went on to compete in international tournaments.
The programme is currently paused — but the purpose-built, all-weather facilities that hosted it are still here, and the club is actively open to restarting. If you're a parent, coach, or just someone with energy, talk to us.
What Football For All covers
Nationally, the FAI's Football For All programme spans amputee football, powerchair football, football for players with cerebral palsy, and football for players with intellectual disabilities. Any committee member is happy to talk through how a player could take part at Esker.
Help us restart it
The pitch is ready. The frames are ready. We need people.
