Gynastics Club for Disabled Children

Ciera McGill |

We were utterly inspired to read about a project in Redditch, here in the UK, that is turning the possibility of participating in gymnastics into reality for disabled children.

The project, organised by Redditch YMCA, is to be run in conjunction with Redditch Special Olympics.

The once weekly sessions will give the disabled youngsters, between the ages of five and thirteen years, the opportunity to obtain their BAGA Cadge awards and even potentially compete in special Olympics gymnastics tournaments around the UK.

We think this is an amazing opportunity for the youngsters to take part in a sport that's not only socially satisfying and fun, but that enhances discipline and both mental and physical strength. What's more impressive is the fact that the sessions will cost only £1.50 per week, making this an affordable class as well.

For anyone in the Redditch area who is interested in the classes, the contact is Darren Veness, at darren.veness@redditchymca.org.uk.
