SLSL is a unique project that offers opportunities for young people through sport to improve their lives, increase fitness, raise their self esteem and heighten their aspirations. It is an award winning successful community based project that enables young players with disabilities to participate and compete at a level appropriate to their ability.

The league ensures young people with a learning disability have the opportunity to play sport on a regular basis, competing at each age, gender and ability level for an annual cup. In turn this raises the awareness and involvement of the local communities to the skill of the players and their determination to succeed.

Since 2004 over one thousand boys and girls have experienced the fun of playing football. The project has been managed since its inception by Sharon Brokenshire and has received a variety of awards for excellence that demonstrate the level of commitment of the management committee.
