The program has been established and is managed by ESFA Competition Manager, Taleah Newhouse. 
Neowhouse has acknowledged the work already been done by many ESFA clubs for disabled athletes.  Recently she said
?We know that local clubs are supporting players with disabilities; Maroubra United and Pagewood-Botany FC are two that I know of.
We aim to build on that work with the help of the sponsorship from Link Market Services, hopefully a grant from the Department of Sport & Recreation and support from Randwick Council and the ESFA Board.?
ESFA is also grateful to John Hunt from Coogee United who has volunteered as a coach. John also has professional experience working with people with disabilities.

Registrations for the White Knights program are still open.  ESFA is also looking for extra volunteers to assist on Saturday mornings.  Queries can be directed to Taleah Neowhouse on 9666 8686.
