Reach Behavior and Development Center and Tekkers Football Academy Celebrate the Success of Bahrain’s Inclusive Football Program
Reach Behavior and Development Center, in partnership with Tekkers Football Academy, is proud to announce the successful completion of the first-of-its-kind Inclusive Football Program, an initiative designed to provide children with additional support needs the opportunity to participate in football within a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive environment.
The four-week program brought together children aged 7–10 years to develop football skills, build confidence, strengthen social connections, and experience the joy of sport in a setting tailored to their individual needs. Sessions were delivered collaboratively by experienced football coaches and behavioral specialists, ensuring that every child received the support necessary to engage meaningfully in group activities and team play.
The program was created with a simple but powerful goal: to make sport accessible to all children while promoting inclusion, participation, and community engagement.
Mona Tadayyon, Founder and Director of Reach Behavior and Development Center, said:
“At Reach, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to participate, belong, and succeed within their community. This Inclusive Football Program was created to remove barriers and provide children with meaningful opportunities to build confidence, develop social connections, and experience the joy of sport. We are grateful to Tekkers Football Academy and to all the families who trusted us with this initiative, and we look forward to expanding inclusive opportunities for children across Bahrain.”
The partnership between Reach Behavior and Development Center and Tekkers Football Academy reflects a shared commitment to creating opportunities where children of all abilities can thrive. By combining expertise in child development and behavioral support with high-quality football coaching, the program provided an environment where success was measured not only by athletic achievement but also by participation, enjoyment, and personal growth.
Reach Behavior and Development Center would like to extend its sincere gratitude to all participating families, children, coaches, therapists, and staff members whose enthusiasm, trust, and commitment made this program possible.
The success of this program reinforces the importance of inclusive sporting opportunities within Bahrain and highlights the positive outcomes that can be achieved when communities work together to ensure every child has the opportunity to participate, grow, and belong.
