Hi David,
Thanks for your post. It is always good to hear that an event we organise is both fun for the young people involved, but also useful as a networking tool for the adults that attend as well. We have been very interested in the inclusion of Wheelchair users in football and one of Trustees was particularly keen in make the sport more accessable for all… I will mention your comment to him but in regards to those that played this year, Ray will certainly be able to assist you there.
I hope you can join us again next year!

I am writing to say thanks for organising a great tournament again at the London Soccerdome. I’ve been involved in running Invicta Valiants SEN-disability FC for many years and the Daytrippers tournament has always been one of the best organised. It was good to see some wheelchair users playing in the teams. I spoke with one of the carers/coaches who explained how they were able to include wheelchair users in matches. It is a great way of including wheelchair users in playing, when in reality the chances of wheelchair users finding a place where they can play in wheelchair football teams are pretty remote. I spoke with the Kent FA afterwards about including wheelchair users in Kent Pan Disability League matches, which our teams play in, however although the Kent FA support inclusion, they were not optimistic about this being a successful way of including wheelchair users, health and safety etc. Any chance that you may be able to give me a contact of the teams who had wheelchair users in the teams, as I’d like to find out how their local County FA view wheelchair inclusion, or please forward them my contact details. I’ve also emailed Ray Coleman at Feltham Bees, who I’ve known since we first played in the tournaments there in 2004, to request the same info. Thanks, David Ramzan – Invicta Valiants, Ashford, Kent.
