NMC Titans

The NMC Titans is a newly established powerchair football team based at the NeuroMuscular Centre. The team was set up in January following very successful taster sessions run as part of the summer’s sports days. The team is being co-ordinated by James Taubman (Manager) and Bryn Edwards (Chairman).

Sara Dickinson, a development officer from the Wheelchair football association, helped kick-start the team by providing wheelchairs and other necessary equipment on a fortnightly basis allowing for some initial sessions to go ahead, sparking a fantastic amount of interest from a variety of people associated with the NMC. Unfortunately this has now come to an end and the club now needs to become self-sufficient with their own equipment and storage space, which as you can imagine doesn’t come cheap! Lyndsey Cannon, from the fundraising team at the NMC, is doing a fantastic job applying for and securing funding from various sources.

The team is soon to be affiliated with the Cheshire FA and will soon also be affiliated with the WFA allowing us to make connections with other local teams and begin to look at competing in the regional or national leagues. 

The Titans currently use the sports hall facilities at Manchester Metropolitan University campus in Crewe and are looking to make this the long term training facility with the possibility of on site storage.  

The team so far has had a wonderful response from those involved and others who have heard about it and the Titans are gaining momentum very quickly. It has attracted many people, men and women, from 18 to 53 and keeps on attracting new very enthusiastic members. It is a very exciting and worthwhile venture for the NMC to develop and we hope it will continue to grow into a top league team in the not too distant future.

The NMC Titans are still gaining momentum in preparation to become a regular fixture in the NMC calendar. The team is very grateful for all the money that has been put towards the running of the team and have bought the necessary equipment to begin regular training including sets of goal posts and cones. The only thing missing now is sports chairs. As these are slightly more expensive funding them will take more time however as soon as we have them the Titans we be in full force training in preparation for a competitive future. We hope everyone can get behind the team and the NMC Titans can achieve great things.
