Amputee Football Academy Holds First Girls’ Training Session in Gaza
Donate to HEAL Palestine
Every donation is a step toward HEALing and empowering the children of Gaza. Thank you for supporting our mission!
HEAL Palestine’s Amputee Football Academy held its first training session for girls from the Central Area and Khan Younis at Al-Anan Stadium in Gaza.
The session brought together girls living with limb loss for a structured sports activity designed to build strength, confidence, movement, and teamwork in a safe and supportive environment.
Training began with warm-up exercises before moving into crutch running practice, ball awareness drills, and movement with and without the ball. Each activity was adapted to help participants improve coordination, balance, endurance, and comfort while engaging in football.
For children and youth with amputations, sports can play an important role in recovery. It supports physical rehabilitation, but it also helps rebuild confidence, peer connection, and a sense of possibility after injury, displacement, and trauma.
The launch of the girls’ training session reflects HEAL Palestine’s commitment to creating inclusive spaces where children with limb loss are not defined by what they have endured. They are given opportunities to move, play, compete, connect, and grow.
Through the Amputee Football Academy, HEAL Palestine continues to support children beyond medical treatment. The program creates pathways for rehabilitation, leadership, community, and joy, helping young amputees in Gaza take meaningful steps toward healing and independence.
