Disabled Team Sport

Peterborough Phantoms Para Ice Hockey

The club was born in 2011, due to a major push by Planet Ice and the British Sledge Hockey Association, to breathe new life into the game within the UK. Sadly, just before our club formed, the game was on the decline, with only 1 club remaining that could play at a competitive level. This all changed in 2011, when along with ourselves, and Basingstoke Bisons, we joined the league.

Cardiff Huskies Para Ice Hockey Club

Cardiff sledge hockey club is a friendly local team based in Cardiff's Ice Arena Wales ice rink. Started in 96 and became one of the pioneers of sledge hockey in the UK. We currently play in the BSHA league and also enter tournaments around the world.

How Do I Play It?

Sledge hockey is a seated version of ice hockey. Each player sits in a specific made sledge and then they use two sticks with a 'hockey end' at the top and 'small teeth spikes' at the bottom, which is dug in to the ice and propel yourself around the ice.

Who Can Play it?

Bury Town Wanderers

Bury Town's Disability Section was formed back in 2009 by Hugo Corrie, with the help of Ipswich Town Charitable Trust and the Info Bar in Bury St. Edmunds.

Since then the team has gone from strength to strength, with the Club now running a First team playing in the Ryman Cup, 3 other Adult teams playing in the Suffolk FA Ability Counts League, a Junior (Colts) team and a Girls team.

Lowestoft Boccia Club

The Lowestoft Boccia Club, which has been running now for more than ten years, meets weekly at Water Lane Leisure Centre on a Wednesday between 4:30 and 5:30pm to promote Boccia, which is a Paralympic sport that can be played by all abilities and disabilities.

The club is fully inclusive and aims to be sociable and fun whilst encouraging a competitive approach to the sport and by using specialist equipment all disabilities can be catered for. Boccia (pronounced "botcha") is a disability sport that tests muscle control and accuracy.

Dundee Dragons

Wheelchair Basketball is perhaps one of the best recognised Wheelchair Sports there is. We’re proud to have two players who have represented Scotland at schools level in the sport, and no doubt they’ll go further!

Wheelchair Rugby League and Wheelchair Basketball are played on the same size court and in the same type of chairs, so for that reason both sports complement eachother fantastically well.

Grampian Flyers Wheelchair Basketball

Grampian Flyers Wheelchair Basketball team are based in Aberdeen. Training every Monday 5.30pm -7pm at the Beach Leisure Centre. Open to all ages.

Following a four week taster block at the tail end of 2012, the Grampian Flyers Basketball Club created a wheelchair team for the North East of Scotland.

Training every week, the team has grown in both numbers and skill level. The team now has 9 registered players with an ever increasing membership, and with players coming from as far as Arbroath to train the squad is looking stronger than ever.

West Country Hawks Wheelchair Rugby Club

Making fun, fast-paced sport accessible for anybody living with a disability, it’s easy to see why wheelchair rugby is one of the fastest-growing disability sports in the world. 

The Hawks enable people living in the South West to take part - and even open up the opportunity to represent GB in the Paralympics.

We're delighted to be working with them and transforming lives.
