About Abilities United
Based in Aberdeen, Abilities United Ltd offers a safe, supportive, confidence-building environment with tailored coaching for different needs and abilities. We aim to create a community where friendship grows, focusing on well-being, independence and joy through sport and activity.
What makes us different?
Abilities United Ltd provides enhanced football training sessions for girls aged 11-13 and 14-16. We also offer Strength & Conditioning classes for girls aged 11-13 and 14 -16. What truly sets us apart is that we welcome any girl who is interested, creating an inclusive environment where everyone can develop their abilities and create a positive relationship with physical activity.
Beyond youth football, we offer daytime activities for adults with disabilities, addressing the challenge in Aberdeen of finding sport-specific sessions during the day. We go further by bringing our sessions to care homes and inclusive schools, ensuring that those who may have difficulty reaching our partnership venues can still participate and enjoy the benefits of inclusive sport and activity.
