About Us

Everyone Belongs at JRD

We’re an inclusion football team for Under 12s in Bootle and the surrounding areas — built around the idea that every child deserves a place on the pitch.

Who We Are

JRD Inclusion Football Club gives children of all abilities in Bootle and the surrounding areas the chance to train, play and compete together as a team. We believe football should be for everyone — no matter what a child’s ability or additional needs might be — and we build every session around making sure each player feels welcome, included and valued.

Our Under 12s train twice a week, play competitively in the Bootle Football Club Under 12 league every Saturday, and are supported both on and off the pitch by our coaching team and by the JRD Foundation.

Our Values

01

Respect

For teammates, opponents, coaches, officials and the game itself — on and off the pitch.

02

Unity

One team, all abilities. We train together, play together and support each other.

03

Opportunity

Every child gets the chance to play, improve, make friends and be part of something bigger.

The JRD Foundation

JRD Inclusion FC is closely linked with the JRD Foundation, set up in support of Josh — son of our Under 12s coach, Chris Duckworth. The Foundation helps fund the team’s trips, training and tournaments, and supports Josh and his family. Read more about the JRD Foundation →
