Special Needs Sports Programme

The Sport Gulf Harbour Charitable Trust and The Leisure Centre are hosting a Special Needs Sports Programme designed specifically for interaction and connection with children with Special Needs for example:  Autism, Aspergers, ADHD, Downs Syndrome, Angelman Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Global Development delays to name JUST a few including any physical disabilities- (wheelchair)
These sessions will run on a Wednesday from 4-4.30pm during school terms only in the Leisure Centre Stadium and parent/caregiver participation is a necessity in order for this to work successfully.

We welcome also siblings along to interact as well with their brothers or sisters too.
Sport Gulf Harbour Delegate for this group Gaylene Chambers says that "There will be absolutely NO barriers for participation in this programme".  "These kids face enough barriers in life without us putting more in their way"

The sessions will help develop co-ordination, social skills, self confidence and kinesthetic skills in a safe and ultimate FUN environment.
The sporting options will be Basketball-(hands only) Soccer- (feet only) and Rugby-(hands and feet) to begin with, but we can develop a programme to suit your child’s specific needs accordingly.

Even better....it’s FREE of charge, due to a very generous grant- BIG thanks to Wilson Home Trust for enabling this initiative to progress.
