One National Plan - for non-professional football in Scotland 2013-2015Dog Digital
Football is the National Sport of Scotland and the People’s Game. It contributes to
the health of our nation and has the power to make a positive impact in our local
communities. Football is intrinsic to Scotland’s culture and can create a sense of pride,
having the capacity to lift the spirits of our nation and provide a sense of purpose.
The beating heart of our game lies within grassroots football. Through the participation,
passion, energy and dedication of players, coaches, volunteers and officials our game
is enjoyed the length and breadth of our country, providing extensive benefits to all
involved.
For the good of our nation and for the good of our game, non-professional football
needs to be vibrant. For all ages, for all abilities and for people across all walks of life, our aim should be to make the game available, attractive and rewarding, widening its impact and the obvious benefits such as citizenship and health.
This plan has been developed during a challenging but exciting time in our game and
with the willingness of all major partners to collaborate and work collectively towards an
agreed vision for football.
WASHINGTON, D.C., November 11, 2014—Today the Equal Rights Center (ERC)—a national non-profit civil rights organization—released a new toolkit to help veterans with disabilities advocate for accessible housing.
“Every year, hundreds of thousands of veterans return home to new challenges and barriers due to physical and mental disabilities resulting from their service to and for our country,” said Melvina Ford, executive director of the ERC. “Under the federal Fair Housing Act, these veterans are entitled to accessible housing and beyond that our gratitude and respect.”
According to government sources, 45 percent of the 1.6 million veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are now seeking compensation for service-related disabilities, more than double the estimate of 21 percent who filed such claims after the Gulf War.
The lack of available accessible housing for these veterans with disabilities contributes to higher rates of unemployment and homelessness. Approximately 12 percent of the homeless population is made up of veterans, which in real numbers amounts to almost 50,000 homeless veterans on our streets.
“Our veterans—particularly those who return home with service-related disabilities—deserve equal treatment and opportunity in all aspects of their new lives,” said James Schenck, president and CEO of Pentagon Federal Credit Union (PenFed). “It is imperative that we ensure that veterans with disabilities have the resources and education to be effective advocates for themselves and their families.”
The Veterans with Disabilities Toolkit highlights the rights to accessible housing afforded to veterans with disabilities under Title XIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, known as the Fair Housing Act (FHA). This toolkit provides: an overview of the rights provided by the federal FHA, information on accessible design requirements of multifamily development, how to request a reasonable modification or accommodation from property owners or managers and answers to frequently asked questions.

Belgium vs Romania Injuries and Patience in Belgium’s Euro Cup Germany Squad....Eticketing.co
Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco will wait for several key players to recover from injury. Even if it means they miss the opening Euro Cup Germany stages of the European Championship in Germany this month. Veteran defender Jan Vertonghen, midfielder Youri Tielemans and defender Arthur. Theate are being given time to play in the tournament because they are considered vital to Belgium’s cause, Tedesco said on Tuesday.

"Of course, you prefer to take players who are fully fit, but that's okay. We want to wait and be patient for some players even if they cannot play in those first matches," he told a press conference. The 37-year-old Vertonghen, Belgium’s Euro Cup 2024 most-capped international with 154 appearances, is struggling to shake off a groin injury.
"He will be there normally. This also applies to Youri Tielemans and Arthur Theate. The latter's position is very sensitive. We don't have many choices at left back. "It will only change if it turns out that they will only be available when, say, the final of the Euro 2024 Championship comes around. That's too long to wait. "However, I am confident that the injured boys are on track for the Euros.
Belgium vs Romania: Radu Dragusin Prepares for Crucial Role in Euro Cup Germany
Some of them have taken not one but two steps forward in their rehabilitation," he said. None of the injured players will feature in this week’s warm-up friendlies against Montenegro and Luxembourg. Romania centre-back Radu Dragusin found chances limited at Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of the 2023-24 season.
But is crucial to his country's cause at UEFA Euro 2024 where his aerial ability, physicality and hard graft make him a standout player. The 22-year-old moved to North London from Italian side Genoa in January but was kept on the sidelines by the form of another new arrival for the season, Mickey van de Ven, something Romania coach Edward Iordanescu admitted was a concern.
It will mean limited game-time going into the finals, but Dragusin, who cites Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk as a role model, started every Euro Cup Germany qualifier as Romania went through the campaign unbeaten in their 10 games. He will be among their most important players in their first game in Germany against Ukraine in Munich on June 17, taking the right centre-back role in what is likely to be a back four.

Narrated Business Proposal for the Philadelphia Eaglescamrynascott12
Slide 1:
Welcome, and thank you for joining me today. We will explore a strategic proposal to enhance parking and traffic management at Lincoln Financial Field, aiming to improve the overall fan experience and operational efficiency. This comprehensive plan addresses existing challenges and leverages innovative solutions to create a smoother and more enjoyable experience for our fans.
Slide 2:
Picture this: It’s a crisp fall afternoon, driving towards Lincoln Financial Field. The atmosphere is electric—tailgaters grilling, fans in Eagles jerseys creating a sea of green and white. The air buzzes with camaraderie and anticipation. You park, join the throng, and make your way to your seat. The stadium roars as the Eagles take the field, sending chills down your spine. Each play is a thrilling dance of strategy and skill. This is what being an Eagles fan is all about—the joy, the pride, and the shared experience.
Slide 3:
But now, the day is marred by frustration. The excitement wanes as you struggle to find a parking spot. The congestion is overwhelming, and tempers flare. The delays mean you miss the pre-game excitement, the tailgate camaraderie, and even the opening kick-off. After the game, the joy of victory or the shared solace of defeat is overshadowed by the stress of navigating out of the parking lot. The gridlock, honking horns, and endless waiting drain the energy and joy from what should have been an unforgettable experience.
Our proposal aims to eliminate these frustrations, ensuring that from arrival to departure, your experience is extraordinary. Efficient parking and smooth traffic flow are key to maintaining the high spirits and excitement that make game days special.
Slide 4:
The Philadelphia Eagles are not just a premier NFL team; they are an integral part of the community, hosting games, concerts, and various events at Lincoln Financial Field. Our state-of-the-art stadium is designed to provide a world-class experience for every attendee. Whether it's the thrill of game day, the excitement of a live concert, or the camaraderie of community events, we pride ourselves on delivering a fan-first experience and maintaining operational excellence across all our activities. Our commitment to our fans and community is unwavering, and we continuously strive to enhance every aspect of their experience, ensuring they leave with unforgettable memories.
Slide 5:
Recent trends show an increasing demand for efficient event logistics. Our customer feedback has consistently highlighted frustrations with parking and traffic. Surveys indicate that a significant number of fans are dissatisfied with the current parking situation. Comparisons with other venues like Citizens Bank Park and Wells Fargo Center reveal that we lag in terms of parking efficiency and convenience. These insights underscore the urgent need for innovation to meet and exceed fan expectations.
Slide 6:
As we delve into the intricacies of our operations, one glaring issue emer

• Forums to be identified as follows:
North East, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, East Midlands, West Midlands, London and East, South East and South & West.
• Each Regional Forum will produce its own strategy and vision document to reflect how it will deliver the aims identified in this

• We will introduce management processes that will enable us to effectively monitor the numbers of disabled people involved in
cricket across all impairment groups and sub classifications.
• We will review the current tournament structures across all of the impairment groups to ensure that provision is appropriate for
all groups.
9. 2. Culture & Environment
2013 Outcome : We will create a culture of inclusion and ‘can do’ across England and Wales where the cricket community
recognises what disabled people bring to cricket rather than any particular limitation.
• Ensure that literature and publicity coming out of ECB is inclusive in its content
• Continuously review coach education to ensure that the needs of the disabled cricketer are met

• We will work with ACO to provide awareness and education to cricket officials who will officiate in fixtures where disabled
people are playing.
• We will consult with the Institute of Groundsmen to address any issues that disability cricket may be raised by their members.
“It is your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude”
10. 3. Profile

• Delivery in Wales will be agreed between CBW and FDSW Community and supported by ECB.
“Do you know what my favorite part of the game is?
The opportunity to play”
12. 5. Disability Specific Focus Clubs
2013 Outcome: We will have accredited a nationwide network of Focus Clubs committed to delivering disability cricket
Linked to demand and levels of participation we will establish a number of impairment specific focus clubs form within our existing
club network. Whilst we expect our exisiting focus clubs to be involved in this outcome it should not be viewed as being exclusively
for them. Of importance is to have those more vulnerable members of our society moving into a supportive and welcoming cricket
community where their needs are properly met.
We deliver at least the following:
Learning Disability 1 focus club per CSP – total 49
Physical Disability 2 focus clubs per ECB Disability Development Forum Region – total 18
Deaf 1 Focus club per ECB Disability Development Forum Region – Total 9
Blind 1 Focus club per ECB Disability Development Forum Region – Total 9
All of the above to be delivered in Wales on a needs driven basis in consultation with relevant partners.
“The thing that struck me the most about the teams, is the overwhelming enthusiasm shown by the players, as individuals, and as a group. I
hope to continue playing cricket for as long as possible. That first day I stepped back onto the field, pads on, bat in hand, it was like nothing
had ever changed. The feeling was amazing.”
George Dutton, on returning to cricket through the Derbyshire disabled cricket association following a serious car accident.
13. 6. Increased Capital Investment
2013 Outcome: We will deliver increased levels of targeted capital investment to ensure that facilities are appropriate to the
identified need
• Regional Development Forums to produce facility development strategy’s for their region that are consistent with existing
county board facility development plans and can evidence need and demonstrate long term development value.
• Regional Development Forums to engage with the ECB Funding and Facilities Unit to ensure that they are clear on funding
guidelines and time constraints.
• RDFs, through CCB’s will consider the impact of increased participation on wider issues within the game such as availability
of grounds and over capacity when considering locations for focus club activity
• Clubs to be supported and advised on the Minimum Quality Standards required to be a Disability Focus Club. Advice and
support to be delivered through ECB Clubmark Officers, EFDS and FDSW (In Wales)
• Investment in facilities at identified focus clubs as above
• Identify One National Centre of Excellence specifically for disability cricket in addition to use of facilities at NCPC
Loughborough
• Identify 4 Regional Disability Centres of excellence – 1 per ECB Development Region.
“It is not the use of a wheelchair that causes me a problem, it is the environments in which I need to use it”
14. 7. Player Pathways
2013 Outcome: We will have in place a player pathway for talented cricketers with a disability and the support services
to go with that
• Ensure that all players across all impairment groups have a pathway to international cricket from entry level.
• Provide the support services that these players need at each level of the pathway.
What is disabling is not the loss of an arm or restriction of movement but
the assumption of others of what you can or can’t do
If the sentence began with
“what can or how can…….”
rather than
“I’m sorry but….or I don’t think……”.
15. 8. Talent ID
2013 Outcome : We will introduce a Talent ID system across all impairment groups
• National Coaches with the support of the governing body and impairment specific cricket groups will develop and introduce a
talent ID system appropriate for their impairment group. The current system is too basic and we stumble across players as
opposed to identifying and developing them. We need a system in place whereby players with disabilities can enter the sport
and their progress be monitored through.
16. 9. Coach Education & Recruitment
2013 Outcome: We will have a Coach Education programme that will deliver a workforce that is able to differentiate their
delivery effectively to accommodate the needs of disabled people. Will increase the number of disabled people
becoming coaches.
• Identify what is needed in terms of coaching resource through Regional Forums who understand and are close to the
development activity taking place in counties.
• Continually check and challenge our coach education courses to ensure that they are accessible to people with disabilities
• Continue to recruit and deliver coaches identified through needs driven development plans
• Each of our national squads will have Level 4 or Level 3 working towards Level 4 Head Coaches
• Assistant Coaches will be Level 2 or 3 for all national and regional squads
• Disability Cricket will be seen as credible pathway for coaches to work with regional and national squads and as an
opportunity for CPD for coaches working in mainstream
• Provide relevant and appropriate CPD for existing coaches working with regional and national squads.
• Provide a support network and points of reference for cricket coaches who are working with people with disabilities
• Identify and train a workforce to deliver Table Cricket training to schools
• We will encourage and support people with disabilities who wish to become cricket coaches
“All qualified cricket coaches have the skills they need to work with
players with disabilities – coach the game not the disability”
17. 10. Engage with key partners
2013 Outcome: We will have sound relationships and appropriate Memorandums of Understanding in place with
partners, both internal and external, that can support our aims and objectives.
• We will establish links with organisations who are disability sport and community sport development experts, such as The
English Federation of Disability Sport and The Federation of Disability Sport Wales. In addition to these groups we will also
seek advice and support from disability specific groups such as National Deaf Childrens Society, British Blind Sport,
MENCAP Sport, The Lords Taverners and UK Sports Association for People with Learning Disability.
• Internally we will have strong relationships with other ECB departments including Coach Education, Funding and Facilities,
Ethics and Compliance, Communications, the V Team, Club Development, Association of Cricket Officials and the wider
Recreational Game and Women and Girls.
“Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”
18. National Squads
Blind
Deaf
Learning Disabilities
Physical Disabilities
These squads will train at a National Centre for Disability Cricket. This centre will give priority to Regional and National Disability Squads
over and above mainstream cricket.
They will have access to the support services provided to all other senior England squads
They will be involved in international series set out in an agreed future tours programme
“I’ve been a cricketer all my life but because I now use a stick I am
boxed as a disabled cricketer and not as a cricketer – why?”
19. Regional Squads
North, Midlands, South & West, London & East
For all Impairment Groups
Each having regional tournaments where the four teams meet in a Super Four style tournament that provides the basis for selection to
National squads.
Each Region will have a designated centre for disability cricket development
“It’s not the impairment that makes me disabled, it’s other people’s perceptions of me”
20. County Squads
Increase of at least 50% in numbers of counties fielding disability sides in national championships.
Clubs
Linked to demand and levels of participation, establish a number of impairment specific focus clubs
Learning Disability 1 focus club per CSP – total 49
Physical Disability 2 focus clubs per ECB Disability Development Forum Region – total 18
Deaf 1 Focus club per ECB Disability Development Forum Region – Total 9
Blind 1 Focus club per ECB Disability Development Forum Region – Total 9
Plus club development in Wales where need is identified.
Coaches will feel equipped and confident when working with disabled youngsters.
Disabled membership at clubs will increase by >100%
Special Needs Schools entering the National Table Cricket Competition will have increased year on year.
County Boards, Clubs, coaches and parents will know where to find information relating to the support of disabled cricketers within
our communities.
Players with disabilities will have the opportunity to play cricket in an environment that is appropriate to their ability.
“Its not about disabled cricketers, it’s about cricketers with disabilities”
21. People
It will be our people who will make the vision a reality
Through the V Cricket network we will encourage people from all sectors of our communities to engage in developing and supporting
cricket for people with disabilities.
We will offer appropriate opportunities and provide relevant training to those volunteering their time to develop the sport.
We will encourage those people already within the cricket family to support and welcome people with disabilities into our sport.
We will reward and recognise those volunteers who make significant contributions to the growth of the disabled game.
“It’s not about changing the game but about changing attitudes”
