Profile
Sky Blues in the Community currently offer six sessions per week in the Coventry and Warwickshire district.
The aim of these sessions are to enhance the physical, mental, emotional and social needs of our participants. “It’s More Than Football, It’s A Way Of Life”.
The Health and Wellbeing of our participants is paramount to us as we look to support the elderly in our community through sport and social networking.
Each session has its own unique story, with players from all walks of life coming together for the same goal. They’re very inclusive, so we welcome all.
Our Cancer Support Group and Parkinson’s Walking football sessions are a hallmark of this. Both sessions are free of charge for participants living with and beyond Cancer and living with Parkinson’s.

Along with our weekly sessions we offer two tournaments each year. The Home International’s which is Four teams representing England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Also, the Dave Bennet Community Cup, which began last year, was a tremendous experience for all.
Throughout the season we travel to other community trusts who host similar tournaments and friendly matches. Never about the result but creating social wellbeing and endless memories.
