Sports clubs and opportunities

Sporting activities are of course a good way to get active and keep fit.  Sport is also a great way to socialise, make friends, build confidence and  improve your independence.

Many sports are open to blind and partially sighted people, including archery, cricket, running, sailing, tandem cycling, tennis and more.

 

“I had never thought about playing tennis as a visually impaired person but I had always followed tennis on television and the radio. So when the opportunity came up to play visually impaired tennis I jumped at the chance.  For me playing VI tennis is a really good way not only to keep fit and healthy, but you are also using your brain when playing thinking about the next shot, so it is good for keeping your brain active too.”
