Welcome to the Kent Disability Football League

– an award winning inclusive football league in Kent

The League consists of 15 different clubs based across Kent and South-East London split across ten divisions catering for all ages from 8 years old to adults and including both males and females.

There are over 60 small sided teams regularly taking part in the League making it the one of the largest County Disability Leagues in the country.

The adult divisions are ability banded so players of all abilities can play at an appropriate level based on their skill level and impairment. The junior teams are age banded.

All the clubs meet once a month and play all the other teams in their division in a festival-like event.
