Accessibility

1. Our commitment

FALLINGHIPPO LIMITED, which runs Tekkers & Tactics, has a duty under the Equality Act 2010 to make reasonable adjustments so that disabled people can use its services. The accessibility regulations for public sector websites don’t apply to us, but we follow the same approach and publish this statement the way the government’s guidance describes. We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA.

2. What works

• Animated boards. Every drill and tactic is drawn on a board that plays step by step. Next to each board is a numbered list of the steps in words, which you can read on its own or use to jump the board to that step. Each step is announced to screen readers as it plays, and the board has a text label.
• Motion. Boards play once when they come into view and then stop, and every board has its own pause button. The floodlit pitch at the top of the home page moves slowly while it is on screen. If your device asks for reduced motion, the site follows it, and the Motion button at the top of every page turns all movement off or on whatever your device says.
• Keyboard. Every button, link, menu and form can be used with the keyboard, and you can always see which one is selected. A “Skip to content” link is the first thing on every page.
• Colour and contrast. Text and controls meet the AA contrast ratios. The two teams on the boards differ by more than colour: one is a filled orange disc and the other a white disc, and the passes, runs and dribbles are drawn as solid, dashed and wavy lines.
• Zoom and small screens. Pages reflow from a wide screen down to a phone without scrolling sideways. Wide tables scroll inside their own box, which you can reach with the keyboard.
• Plain English. We write simply and explain football terms when we use them.
• No time limits, no flashing, no sign-in and no pop-ups.
• Language. Pages are marked as British English.

3. What we have checked

On 11 November 2026 we ran an automated check (axe-core) against WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 levels A and AA on every kind of page on the site, at phone width and at desktop width, and fixed the one problem it found. We checked that no page scrolls sideways at phone width, and that the boards, planners and skill check work with motion switched off. We haven’t yet tested the site with screen readers, magnifiers or switch devices, or had it audited by an independent specialist. Automated checks find only some problems, so please treat this statement as our honest best account, not a guarantee.

4. What may not work yet

• The floodlit pitch on the home page is a moving picture drawn on a canvas. It is decoration, so screen readers skip it, and it stops when it is off screen or when motion is off.
• The boards are pictures. A screen reader hears the board’s label and the steps list, not the position of every player. If a drill is hard to follow from the words alone, tell us and we’ll describe it better.
• The session planner’s printed page has not been tested with every browser’s print settings.

6. About this statement

This statement was prepared on 11 November 2026, from our own testing. We’ll review it whenever we make a large change to the site, and at least once a year.
