London Games 2012 Para lympic wheelchair basketball / rugby disability experience

“Just a short message to say how fantastic it was to meet you and Andy…and how brilliant your session was. Without exception all of the students who had the opportunity to work with you  had a fantastic time in the Wheelchair Basketball session. You worked brilliantly with our students and we will certainly be looking to ask you back next year!”
SB, Conyers School March 2012

With the London Games 2012 and the London Para lympics games 2012 imminent give your business or school a unique  experience…

Equality, disability and diversity is a subject that really cant be ‘talked about’ – it has to be experienced.

So, Lee with his friend Andy (who first met at a Leeds PHAB club 20 years ago) have developed the Wheelchair Basketball / Rugby Experience that has been very well received in education and the workplace.

The idea is simple. They bring 12 or more sports wheelchairs in a trailer to your venue and allow people the experience of playing sport in a wheelchair.

It’s an amazing experience and a great team building exercise - as everyone starts from scratch and learns what it really feels like to be in a wheelchair. An unforgettable and fun experience, plus you get to hear Andy’s story too.

For more details feel free to contact Lee.

The following is an example session plan… PDF Wheelchair Basketball experience sample session plan

Maximum number of people 24 / ideal number 12 per session – session can be repeated if needed.

“They absolutely loved wheelchair Basketball. They were buzzing…it went down a treat; universally popular across all groups.”
