We are proud to say that this will be our 15th season of Just For Kicks! Ottawa City Soccer Club’s All Abilities soccer programs offer children and youth with intellectual and/or physical disabilities an opportunity to participate in specially designed recreational opportunities.
Every child deserves a chance to build lasting friendships, make memories, and feel like they belong. The All-Abilities team strives for an inclusive environment where no child is noticed for their disability — rather, their enormous abilities shine.
Our programs are fully inclusive, designed and adapted for children with any disability or level of behaviour. Whether they use a wheelchair, walker, or wear orthotics, or live with an intellectual, communication (ASD), or developmental disability, we provide support (1:1 as needed) and welcome all on the field.
OCSC’s All-Abilities programs are at the forefront of development of not only soccer and recreational programs but also physical literacy programming, quality participation, and recreation/socialization opportunities.

This program runs entirely on volunteer power. Please spread the word to others who may be interested in lending a hand. We strive to give our players 1:1 support out on the field.
There is no need to sign up in advance — simply show up as your schedule permits. Volunteers of any age or ability are welcome. High school students can receive volunteer hours toward their diploma (Grade 8 graduates as well). Several of our players can benefit from strong athletic and/or experienced volunteers, so please consider donating your time if you fit the bill.
If you or someone you know would like to be involved in this worthwhile program, please contact Shannon Mallen at shannonkmallen@gmail.com to receive email updates.
