On Saturday, December 13, 2025, U.S. Association of Blind Athletes (USABA) and SeattleFWC26 are hosting a free Blind Soccer Clinic at Arena Sports Magnuson (7751 63rd Ave NE, Seattle) from 3:00–5:30 PM.

The clinic offers a unique opportunity to experience Blind Soccer — a fast-paced, adapted version of soccer designed for players who are blind or have low vision. The event will include hands-on drills for blind and low-vision athletes, participation options for sighted goalkeepers or guides, and an information session for coaches, referees, PE teachers, recreation leaders, and community partners. A demonstration by members of the U.S. Blind Soccer National Team will also take place, giving attendees a first-hand look at how the sport is played at a national level.

This clinic is open to all levels and backgrounds – whether you are a visually impaired player, a sighted goalkeeper or guide, a coach or referee, a recreation leader, or someone just curious about adaptive soccer. The goal is to build local awareness, grow participation, and strengthen the inclusive soccer community in Seattle and across the Pacific Northwest.

Registration is required (spots are limited). For more information and to reserve your spot, visit: seattlefwc26.org/blind-soccer-clinic.

Accessibility is a priority – the venue offers step-free access, service animals are welcome, and interpretation is available with advance notice.

By hosting this clinic, USABA and SeattleFWC26 aim to help expand access to sport and recreation for people who are blind or visually impaired, and to bring inclusive, adaptive soccer opportunities to our region.
