Hi All,
Just wondered if any of you know of any good powerchair sports that I may be able to introduce my 8 year old son to. He has tried football which he hated and has tried Boccia....he liked this but is too far away to go every week which is annoying. We live in Suffolk and it is hard to find anything around here.
Thanks!

Hi @hayley564564
I had a look around for you and have found Aspire Powerchair Sports Club also our friends at CP Sport may be able to point you in the right direction for something more local to you. I have to be honest though, there is rather a lot of football.
If those organisations are not much help, let me know and I'll keep searching for you.
