HOLD THE DATES!
Unfortunately the venue where we were due to hold the event in December is not allowing "out of state" athletes due to Covid. We have therefore had to postpone the camp until next year. Watch this space for dates. Sports will likely be basketball, gymnastics, soccer & swimming.

Listen here to our inspirational Podcasts in which we talk to a wide range of guests, from former Olympians to special needs educationalists who share their experiences and insights - all really relevant to our athletes.
