SPORTS PROGRAMME

Sevices

This is an overwhelmingly successful after-school programme for all ages from 3+, held in actual sports settings.We have mainstream, mixed and additional needs groups. The impact of the sports sessions on the children’s physical, social and emotional wellbeing cannot be praised enough. Qualified instructors and team leaders oversee the sessions, ensuring each child is working towards set targets for the term, so they earn maximum skill while doing something of thrill.

Swimming

This is held in Clissold Pool. These sessions are very individualised and often involve a high volunteer ratio, to help with changing, dressing and in the water. They are small groups so the children get full attention and are able to overcome their disability, master their targets and learn how to swim.

Hydrotherapy swimming

This is held in Brook’s Special School, in a warm-water hydrotherapy pool. This is for those with more severe disabilities. With its calming décor and sensory lighting, it is the ultimate therapeutic experience whilst teaching even the most disabled child to move on their own and attain small targets.

Ice Skating

This is held in the Lee Valley Ice Centre. The children learn to ice-skate like pros, starting with two volunteers, then one, until they let go and glide alone across the rink, in a momentous glee-filled milestone.

Cycling

This is held alternately in Olympic Velodrome & Finsbury Park cycle tracks, using both regular and special adaptive bikes, so no child is deprived of the joy of outdoor exercise and the thrilling rush of wind on their face.

Dance

This is held in our centre and is for older girls. A dance instructor leads the session, teaching the girls coordination, balance and dance steps. The children love it and pride themselves in doing this typically-mainstream activity.

Music

This is held in our centre, in a room equipped with the whole shebang of musical instruments, so the children can let off steam and have a blast, while learning the basics of rhythm, song and music with a music instructor.
