Oxford United Tri-Stars

We have partnered with Downs Syndrome Oxford to provide football sessions exclusively for people with Down’s Syndrome.

Oxford United Tri-Stars provides the opportunity for people with Down’s Syndrome to play football in a safe and encouraging environment.

The sessions are led by Oxford United in the Community coaches and focus on improving football skills through fun training drills and matches.

The sessions suit all abilities with an emphasis on learning new skills, staying active and having fun.

Garry Allen is chair of Oxford United Walking Football Club and founded Tri-Stars alongside Downs Syndrome Oxford.

He said: “All I say to those that turn up is I want to see a smile on your face when you leave, and they do that every week.”

The programme runs every Wednesday from 5:00pm to 6:00pm at The Dome at Oxford Academy and is open to adults and children from the age of eight.
