Hunts FA are excited to announce a new incentive scheme for our Pledge Project

What is the Pledge Project?

Disability football is one of the games greatest secret's and we need your support to promote and increase the opportunities across the county.Can you help spread the word about disability football across Huntingdonshire? Hunts FA want to get as many people playing football as we can. Many grassroots players, clubs, managers and parents are unaware of disability provision, and by promoting the opportunities in the county it may lead to a player with a disability joining a club.
