Exeter Football Fun Day - a great success!

On Saturday 12th April together with Exeter City's football in the community, Devon FA and British Blind Sport, Soccer Sight hosted the launch of our football team for blind and partially sighted boys and girls.

The day was attended by 10 young boys and girls who enjoyed the opportunity to have fun with a football and making new friends. Tim Flint is the Soccer Sight volunteer coach and this was his first attempt at coaching blind and partially sighted kids. He and the other coaches did a great job, in fact all of the 10 children were loud and clear in saying that they wanted to come back. We are now looking to establish the club in Exeter and facilitate coaching sessions once a week. Watch this space for more details.

After the coaching session Exeter City football in the community hosted a pizza lunch for us all followed by tickets to watch the home game against Northwich listening to Matt's commentary of the game...........which Exeter won 2-1!
