RCT Tigers is a pan-disability football club giving children and young people across Rhondda Cynon Taf a warm, friendly place to train, play, and belong — every Saturday, no exceptions.
RCT Tigers gives young people with a disability across Rhondda Cynon Taf a genuine footballing home — not a modified corner of someone else's club, but a team built around them from the start.
Membership is open to behavioural difficulties, cerebral palsy, deaf/hard of hearing, learning disability, pan disability, physical disability (ambulant), PMLD, and visual impairment.
The focus is enjoyment, confidence, and being part of a team — a place where nobody has to explain themselves to fit in.
Coached and organised by parents and volunteers from the local community who understand exactly what families are looking for.
Consistency matters — for players and for parents planning the week. Here's what to expect.
Every Saturday. Over-16s train 10:00am–12:00pm; under-16s train 11:30am–12:30pm.
Rhondda Sports Centre, Gelligaled Park, Ystrad, Rhondda CF41 7SY.

No pressure to play straight away. Plenty of new families start by watching from the side first.
Turn up on Saturdays, as often as suits you. There's no trial, no tryout — just come and play.
We didn't just want him to be tolerated somewhere. We wanted a club where he felt like he actually belonged. That's what we found here.
Matchdays, tournaments, and training sessions with the squad.
RCT Tigers is entirely volunteer-run and relies on donations, fundraising, and sponsorship to cover pitch hire, kit, and equipment for every player. Want to get involved? Ask a member, they'll point you in the right direction!
