DSC's Hannah and Alex usually organise sports for everyone else, but got to try padel.
Hannah said: "I organised a taster as I thought it would be cool to learn and to coach to members."
Padel's an accessible sport. It's great when sport is inclusive - not exclusive!

We had THE most amazing sports session!
@ParalympicsGB and @EveryBodyMoves visited Club Wandsworth!
Members played multi-sports while catching their breath for interviews about why disability sport matters.
So proud that Wandsworth is ParalympicsGB Club of the Month!

Great to see this fantastic work - ensuring that disabled children are included in sport! This approach should be inbuilt in all schools so that no disabled child misses out.

Remain very sad at the news of Alan’s passing. Like so many, I had the honour of playing with him on the 🇬🇧 team. A true legend. Details of his memorial in the link for all interested.

Last night, our team were at the @SouthwarkAwards after we were nominated in the category of Best Charity/Social Enterprise!

While we did not win this year, it was a proud moment to hear our name read out in the shortlist. A huge congratulations to all the winners!

[Disability Sports Coach @DSC_13]

This week, we brought together a group of coaches and volunteers to learn #Makaton!

"It’s so good to learn different ways to communicate – I can’t wait to pass it on to the children we support at Club Southwark every week," said Carol, who volunteers at Club Southwark.

Congratulations Coach Temi for winning the London & South-East Coach/Volunteer of the Year from @StreetGames!

Temi said, 'Disabled people don't get many chances to play sport. I really enjoy coaching with DSC and helping disabled people play sport as much as everyone else.'

[Disability Sports Coach @DSC_13]

Temi was a volunteer with us - now he's a paid coach.

He says: "As a disabled person, I know that sometimes people may not want to try something as they don’t want to fail.

"It is important to remember that the smallest step forward is improvement."

How many disabled people out there have had a non disabled person ‘ablesplain’ something to you?

[Disability Sports Coach @DSC_13]

Could you be our new sports coach? 🏓
We are breaking down the barriers to sport that disabled people face so that no one is left out of sport.
Oh and our coach Patrick said it's the best job in the world! 🌏😊

Meet our amazing team of inclusive sports coaches!
They are disabled and non-disabled, volunteers and paid coaches; they are a diverse team.
But they are united in their desire to make sport accessible for everyone.
Because no one should be left out of sport.
