Mencap Sport
         
   

In 2005 Mencap took over the English Sports Association For people With Learning Disabilities to create MENCAP Sport.

Mencap sport runs a national 11-a-side team which take part in a European football championship every year. These championships take place in Geneva, Switzerland. Trials for the 15 strong squad take place every February.

Each year the ability level of the team varies, to give everyone the opportunity to take part. The squad gets together for a training weekend in Wales to prepare for the championships.

Mencap Sport also host a national 5-a-side tournament each year in Leeds.

All these events are for members of Gateway clubs or Mencap groups

Harrogate Gateway FC play an integral role in the running and organisation of the national squad and the various Mencap football events.
