CP/PARA SOCCER
What is CP/Para Soccer?
CP/Para Soccer is a stand up, adapted version of mainstream soccer. CP/Para Soccer is a scaled down version of the traditional game. The fields are shorter, the nets are smaller, and there are no off-sides. This sport is inclusive for all ages and is a great option for people with cerebral palsy, head injury, or other related physical disabilities to be active in sport.
Interested in bringing CP/Para Soccer to your students, clients, participants, children, or athletes? SportAbility offers opportunities to try a sport for groups such as schools, clinics, sport and corporate teams, and community events. Check out our Community Engagement page for more information.
SportAbility is proud to promote several adaptive soccer organizations that provide opportunities for people who are interested in playing soccer but do not feel comfortable in mainstream programs. These programs are not specifically geared towards people who are eligible for CP/Para Soccer, but are more inclusive, all-abilities programming.
Anyone with or without a disability is welcome and is encouraged to visit each club’s website for more information.
