Sports Academy
Sport provides a fantastic opportunity for people with learning disabilities or autism to live a healthier life, make friends, learn new skills and to feel good about themselves.
Our Sports Academy is a key part of many of our members’ individual learning programmes. Our team of trained coaches work alongside local sporting partners in the community to deliver a truly inclusive programme. We are also developing a coaching programme for some of our members who want to coach.
All our sports are adapted so that everyone takes part. Our range of sports sessions include:
- Badminton
- Boccia
- Polybat
- Goalball
- Seated Volleyball
- Kwik Cricket
- Tennis
- Climbing
- Swimming
- Futsal
- Multi-sports
