We are an England Football Accredited Club affiliated to Worcestershire FA.
We adhere to the FA Anti-bullying and Equality Protocols.
The Monday Night Club Football Club belongs to the Three Counties Ability Counts League, now renamed the Worcester Ability Counts League. We enter two teams to play in six tournaments in the league every season. The tournaments are played in Worcester and Evesham and the teams are 7-a-side.
In the 2023-24 season we won the knock-out tournament at the end of the season. We were also the winners of a Pan-disability tournament at Evesham United FC.
We are trained by Worcestershire Disability Sport FA-trained coaches and we encourage and support players to become trained coaches. This includes first aid for football and safeguarding qualifications.
Our club founder, Laura Gill, is an FA Level 1 coach. The manager and coaches have FA qualifications in Training Disabled Football.

We are delighted to have received a grant from Made by Sport for #ClubsInCrisis through Worcestershire Community Foundation. This will help us to buy new kit and equipment, and to carry on training on All-Weather pitches at St Johns Sports Centre with FA qualified coaches, provided by Disability Sport Worcestershire.

Sport and physical activity are crucial to achieving our club’s mission and are an integral part of the club’s activities. Adults with learning disabilities and autism find opportunities to engage in physical activity are hard to access in the community. The Monday Night Club is committed to improving the health and wellbeing of our members and we actively encourage them to take part in enjoyable, regular, inclusive physical activity. To this end we started our own football club over eight years ago.
Young women with disabilities train every week with other beginners.
People with learning disabilities are at danger of becoming much more isolated from the wider community – they are very often not in education, or employment, and anything that brings them together in a common activity will be of benefit to their mental and physical health. There are many benefits derived from belonging to a team, training and challenging each other together. Improved mental health from social cohesion, connections and regular physical activity. Feelings of well-being will be enhanced, resilience and confidence improved, fitness boosted and all the subsequent benefits for future health outcomes that all this brings.
The Monday Night Club is committed to improving the health and wellbeing of our members and we actively encourage them to take part in enjoyable, regular, inclusive physical activity.
