The Pitch
Problem statement
Providing disability specific provision/competition for disabled athletes.
Solution
Boosting self esteem, improving lives. Inspiring confidence so that disabled athletes are well placed to approach other areas of their life confidently. Improving fitness, reducing need for physio/medical intervention. Providing pathways into international/Paralympic programmes
Why are we best placed to deliver?
Led by coaches and players who have lived the programme successfully for a number of years. Introducing new players unaware of opportunities and pathways. Watching them grow as people under your mentorship and then being invited on to camps internationally. Progress and then enjoying a win! Being offered the same opportunities as able bodied athletes.
