Some of ....more Our club sessions main aim is to build social skills using sport as a tool. Therefore, our athletes develop lasting life skills that they can take forward with them in other situations. They are able to meet new people and make new friends. Some of our athletes started with our club back in 1998, and still attend now having become the best of friends. We also welcome many new athletes to our club at all times. It's amazing to see our members transform over time with us. Many of our athletes also can suffer from isolation, with our club being one of their only activities of the week. Therefore, we believe our club has a positive effect on the mental health of many of our athletes.
