Each session produces truly special experiences like the time a 109-year-old played dodgeball with her great-grandchildren! It’d be great to see if you could share in some of these amazing experiences as an activity lead.
Our Activity Sports Leaders aims to help people with limited mobility get active, have fun and improve their well being and fitness through our unique ‘seated sports’ programme, which enables people to experience the joy of games while playing and competing together.
What are ‘seated sports’?
Essentially they’re games people love, played in new ways My Client have adapted sports such as, football, rugby and hockey to be played sitting down, so anyone can join in – whether they’re recovering from illness or injury, have limited mobility or simply because of age.
Their sessions provide great exercise and great fun, and clients love them. With activities tailored to the different abilities within the group – even bed-bound – they provide a competitive element and build camaraderie between people, while giving them something to talk about between sessions and letting them reminisce about when they were at school or memories of adult experiences.
