Ability Counts

Exeter City Ability Counts FC currently competes in the South West Ability Counts League.
We have recently achieved FA Charter Standard Club award, which is great for everyone involved.
We have 3 teams playing at different levels 1 at Premiership, 1 at Championship and 1 in the League.
** Premiership Team - Sponsored by ECDSA (Exeter City Disabled Supporters Association)

Funding for the Ability Counts teams are very important, we are currently in our last year of our grant from the Football Foundation, which therefore means we have to become self funding. Players do pay towards training and match subs, but other cost, like mini-bus hire and fuel on match days can become a bit of an expense.
We are currently looking for a shirt sponsor for the League team, or any donations towards the Ability Counts teams are very welcome.
If you are interested in sponsoring a team or would like to make a donation the please contact either Scott Walker or Paul Clements.
