Disability Sport
The Sports Development section runs a weekly sports coaching
session for adults with learning and physical disabilities. This is
run in partnership with the Wyre Forest Leisure Group, a part of
The Odell Trust. A

Specifically, during each session we deliver sports such as
Boccia, Curling, Parachute games and Box Hockey to enhance mobility
levels and encourage social interaction.
The sessions take place at
Wyre Forest Glades Leisure Centre from 10.30-11.30am and run
during term-time throughout the year.

We ensure that these sessions are open to all levels of ability
and are free of charge.

The summer event in 2009 gave participants the opportunity to
take part in a number of different activities and show spectators
the skills they had been learning throughout the year. The
activities were: 400m walk/run; target throw; boccia;
basketball skills; javelin and penalty shootout. The event was a
great success and all participants went home with a certificate and
a medal. |
This summer the event will be held at Bewdley Leisure Centre on
Thursday 8
th July 2010.
