Disability Development Officer for the Kent County FA, Stephanie Gadd said “ This is a fantastic achievement for the girls, the club and the Kent FA. At KCFA we are working hard to involve all kids in football, regardless of their disability.”
Maidstone United FC achieved the prestigious Deaf Friendly Football Club award from the National Deaf Children’s Society in 2008 and now has a thriving deaf section. This caters for girls and boys aged between 8 and 16.
It’s hoped the new team will inspire other girls to get involved in disability football – with the ultimate aim being to create a girls’ section of the League.
