Football For Everyone
Fylde Coast Inclusive FC is football for everyone – whatever your ability, background or experience. No pressure, no judgement, just a great game and a great group of people.
Inclusive football in Blackpool and the Fylde Coast
Fylde Coast Inclusive FC is a mixed-ability football club for adults and young people aged 16 and over. Men, women and non-binary players all play together, whatever their fitness, experience or confidence. Some of our players have played for years; others are kicking a ball for the first time since school.
We started the club to support mental health and wellbeing through football. A session with us is a chance to get active, meet people, take your mind off things and be part of a team that genuinely looks out for each other.
How it works
- Sessions most evenings: we run football on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. See the session times.
- Book online: create a free account, then book your place on the tickets page. Sessions are low cost, and the current price is shown when you book.
- Mixed ability, all genders, 16+: nobody gets left out, and nobody is expected to be a star.
- The FCI way: encouragement, passing, helping teammates, and being gracious whether we win or lose.
Your first session
Turn up a few minutes early and say hello. Someone will introduce you, explain how the game runs and make sure you get plenty of time on the ball. Games are relaxed and inclusive, with rolling subs so you can take a break whenever you need one.
Bring comfortable sportswear, trainers or astro boots, and a drink of water. That is all you need.
