The OSA is proud to share
this guide for parents and
players and in doing so
celebrate and promote the
local programming in our
community Clubs for
athletes with a disability.
The guide provides a
snapshot of the programs
currently on offer in soccer
Clubs across Ontario.
Included are contact
details, dates and
locations for you to share
with Club Members and
potential athletes. As Club
programs grow, then in
turn this guide will also
grow in the hope that
every player has a playing
opportunity local to them.
Clubs have outlined the
athlete groups they
typically work with but feel
free to contact them about
other opportunities for your
player. All have a strong,
inclusive and accessible
approach to soccer.
This community is also
well connected and will
know of the right place or
resources to ensure you
player gets maximum
enjoyment and
satisfaction from our
great game.

An exciting growth in
recent months has been
the introduction of
competition in a festival
format which is a huge
boost for all involved.
The OSA would like to hear
from your Club if it is offering
programs for athletes with a
disability. Contact :
