Hat trick football was originally set up back in March 2014 for children with autism. Ballyjamesduff were the first sports club to develop an inclusive football programme in the Cavan /Monaghan area.
Since then we have developed into a football for all programme seeing children between the ages of 4-14 come to us with Down's syndrome, severe asthma, spina bifida, sight and hearing difficulties, ADHD, and all across the autistic spectrum. We have many volunteer helpers from sna's, teachers , football coaches and other mainstream children ( best teachers of them all) who help the children with social skills, waiting, turn taking, hand eye coordination and achieving tasks.
We play fun games like football tennis and golf, superhero parachute runs, obstacle courses, crazy catch, space hoppers and bazooka pitch. The children learn at their own pace, and our Moto is to FOCUS ON THE ABILITY not the disability. Every child learns differently but one thing for sure is that every child can learn and have fun while doing it. âš½ï¸âš½ï¸âš½ï¸
