The Leigh Genesis Dynamite team has become a valued part of the Leigh Genesis FC family since its launch in partnership with a local adult disability day service. The squad trains weekly and competes in the Lancashire Ability Counts League, giving players the chance to develop their football skills, build confidence and enjoy the social benefits of being part of a team.
KANE’s latest support sees the team proudly wearing new branded shirts, reinforcing the company’s commitment to giving back to the local community and helping make football accessible for everyone.
Football at Leigh Genesis is about much more than the game itself. For many players, it provides opportunities to make friends, improve physical and mental wellbeing and be part of a club where everyone belongs. The club has consistently highlighted how community support plays a vital role in helping disability football continue to grow.
Football coach Joshua Smith said:
"KANE have previously shown support for our group by donating KANE branded footballs to our team, which the players were really happy with and couldn’t wait to get them out in training and score some goals! Most recently, KANE have shown incredible support again by purchasing KANE branded football shirts for all our players and coaches to wear at training and when warming up before matches! Our players are once again so happy to proudly wear these shirts, and it wouldn’t surprise me if a few pop up around town. We can’t thank KANE enough!
The group really love it when they hear about individuals and businesses supporting them! Football is everything to them as it’s their chance to be part of their community, build new friendships and improve the physical and mental wellbeing."
Leigh Genesis has built a strong reputation for creating football opportunities for players of all ages and abilities, with the Disability Dynamite team now firmly established as one of the club’s senior sides. The programme is led by dedicated coaches and volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure every player can enjoy the game in a positive environment.
The partnership between KANE and Leigh Genesis reflects a shared belief that football should be accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. By supporting local grassroots initiatives, businesses like KANE are helping create lasting opportunities for players to compete, develop and feel part of their community.
As the team continues its season, KANE’s backing is another example of how local businesses can make a meaningful difference both on and off the pitch by investing in inclusive sport and celebrating the achievements of local athletes.
