An FAI league for special schools in Leinster called “Football for All” provides students with an opportunity to train with the FAI and also to be invited to trials.  On this basis 18 players are identified from the Leinster province overall.  These students may get an opportunity to play at an international level on the Irish Special School Soccer Team.  A number of our students have been capped for Ireland.
