Sense, the national disability charity, have developed a Sensory Sport programme which provides opportunities for people with complex disabilities to participate in traditional sports in a person-centred and meaningful way. They have been working with five National Governing Bodies to develop resources, equipment offers and training package for Sensory Tennis, Football, Badminton, Snooker and Rounders.
Take a look at our Sensory Tennis resource on the Sense website for a bit of inspiration.
In partnership with the LTA, we are offering an Introduction to Sensory Tennis workshop which will be delivered via Zoom on Friday 27th September 10.00am – 12.30pm.
The workshop will include a mixture of tutor-led, individual and group activities. It will cover the following:
- An introduction to complex disabilities
- Why we have developed the Sensory Sport model
- Adapting activities to suit the needs of people with complex disabilities
- Planning and evaluating your activities
Following this training, you will have the option to gain further in-person support to help you set up your Sensory Tennis sessions, and have access to our resources and equipment.
