My son Andrew plays for the Chester Jets wheelchair basketball team. This can be a very fast game and makes a good spectator sport. They practice at the Darland School, Rossett, most Saturday afternoons, (unless they have a game) and have a session for youngsters to try the sport before their main practice session. I would recommend any disabled youngster to go along and give it a try. Details and contact names are on the website on this page.

Archery is a sport which caters equally for the disabled and able-bodied. The equipment can and has been adapted for partially sighted, totally blind, wheelchairs and the use of only one arm. Great Britain oftens send a paralympic team of archers and usually does very well. There are several clubs in North Wales who will welcome disabled archers.

We still need to do a lot more to get disabled people, especially children, into sport, but not only sport but activity. I see loads of disabled children in mainstream schools not even being allowed to do PE. Simply because they are seen as being a nuisance. More money is needed and more coaches and more people take up the idea sport is for all.
