Disability Sport

There are many different sports and activities that thousands of people participate in every year from a professional level through to an unstructured fun session with friends or family.

Sport is great as it can be adapted in a large number of ways to accommodate anybody who wishes to participate at some level. Some sports are more accessible than others but most have created adapted versions to cater for different disabilities.

Some people think that just because someone has a disability they wouldn't be able to participate in an activity, however if you are determined enough you can quite often work out a solution to enable you to participate to some level.
