Wigan Athletics Disability Football programme promotes an inclusive policy as so far is possible, with the emphasis being on participation, fun and enjoyment and all the social benefits of playing team sport.

We are the proud holders of the GM FA Fair Play Award two seasons running and it is in the winning of awards such as this that the coaching staff, volunteers, players and parents take great pride, this is the foundation and ethos on which we run our teams.
