Our sports courses focus on your ability rather than disabilities. While having fun and playing games, you’ll learn a wealth of skills that are transferable from the sports field to general life.
This course is a great stepping stone to employment or further educational studies.
You’ll develop:
- Physical skills such as agility, balance, co-ordination and general fitness.
- Social skills such as communication, teamwork and taking responsibility.
- Technical and tactical sport and fitness skills such as ball control, positioning and planning.
- Psychological skills such as making and learning from mistakes, adhering to rules and decision-making.
We work in partnership with Grimsby Town Football Club: they deliver sports sessions on a weekly basis and use their connections to organise sports-related trips such as to see Andy Murray at the Sport England headquarters and a behind-the-scenes tour of the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City Football Club.
