Samuel’s Story – In his own words
If I had a bad week at school, I mainly think about the positives like going to D4S’s Adults Inclusive Football on a Friday night. Because that makes me feel happy and excited.
I enjoy every session of Friday football because we normally get to play a big game/match at the end. The other reason that I like it is because you get to talk to loads of people and interact with them.
Sometimes they don’t explain instructions clearly. Plus, sometimes I get confused which leads to confusion. Some of my friends help me with training drills, and with my positioning sometimes in matches.
I really enjoy my football, it makes me feel happy deep inside. I also look forward to it every week.
I would like longer Friday football sessions. I really enjoyed bowling and meeting up with people, I would like to do that again. I also want more football competitions.
I started Friday football when I was five. I’ve been there years, and I have made a lot of friends since I’ve been there.
