Premier League Players' Project
At Chelsea Foundation, the PL Player’s Project is built on the power of first team player engagement, using their passions for helping the local community. This project focuses on supporting young people in primary schools with Special Educational Needs (SEN). The aim is to support teachers and children to ensure pupils with SEN are receiving inclusive PE practices for strong engagement, long term development and enjoyment.
Spread across a minimum of 10 weeks, Chelsea Foundation staff provide support to teachers during their curriculum PE sessions or through tailored PE sessions for SEN pupils, focusing on inclusive practice, increasing knowledge and increasing confidence. Simultaneously, the children look at themselves as superheroes, focusing on their superpowers such as resilience, teamwork, ambition and kindness.
Proudly funded by the Premier League Foundation, our Premier League Players' Project reflects our commitment to being there for young people every step of the way.
