The Illawarra White Knights were established after The Disability Trust identified a need for a football program/disability club in the Illawarra region.
With support from Ray White Illawarra, The Disability Trust established a weekly football program. The program received a great response and from the success of the Illawarra program they have now been able to develop a program in the Shoalhaven and more recently in the Campbelltown region. The Illawarra program currently has 15 participants as does the Shoalhaven; with the new Campbelltown program featuring six enthusiastic participants. The White Knights FC have grand visions for the future prospects of the program; with the hope of expanding their program to cater for more members to access the programs they provide.
White Knights FC have not only seen accomplishments off the field they are also starting to see some on the pitch. Their program caters to all levels of abilities from those just starting out and wanting to have a go; to those who have wanted to compete at state and national levels.  In the past four years the White Knights FC have been filling their trophy cabinet with a number of titles. They have won the NSW and National titles for athletes with a disability along with many regional gala days just to name a few.
The Illawarra White Knights place a strong emphasis on ensuring their programs meet the needs of participants in a setting that focuses on both the sporting and social skills of those involved. The programs cater towards all needs and abilities with the aim of improving participants’ skills in football and linking with other groups for competition opportunities.
If you would like to get involved programs for the three different regions are conducted on the following days:

·         Illawarra – Monday Afternoons
