Youngsters gunning for disability legacy at Arsenal

Young people from three London schools and players from Arsenal’s visually impaired and deaf football teams helped kick off a drive to get more disabled people playing sport yesterday.

The 2012 Disability Sports Summit, held at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium, aims to pick up on the momentum created by the London 2012 Paralympic Games, and brought together sports bodies, charities and local authorities to discuss how sport can become more inclusive.

But pride of place went to youngsters from Islington, Haringey and Hackney who took part in a penalty shoot-out on the Emirates pitch: sending out a clear message that sport - and legacy - should be for everyone.

They were joined by members of the Paralympics GB Blind Football and Volleyball Teams, and by Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who announced new funding to improve access to disability sport.
