Children with disabilities in Rhondda Cynon Taf will have more opportunities to play sport this year in new football, swimming and badminton schemes, according to Rhondda Cynon Taf Council.A new swimming initiative for children with mild learning disabilities will start in Aberdare next month. The 10-week block of disability swimming lessons begins at 4pm on Tuesday, February 5, 2008 in Aberdare Pool.
If you would like an application form to enable your child to take part in the lessons, please contact Rhondda Cynon Taf’s Disability Sport Wales Development Officer, Shelley Coster, on 01443 490242
Aberdare Badminton Club is holding an open day for people with disabilities at Aberdare Leisure Centre on Saturday, February 16, from 10am-midday.
The club will open its doors to anyone over the age of five who would like to take part. Wheelchair users are also welcome, as some sports wheelchairs will be available on the day.
There will be an opportunity for anyone interested to become a member of the badminton club - which usually runs on a Saturday evening from 7pm.
Regular hour-long football sessions for children of all ages are also currently being held at Pontypridd High School on Sundays at 10am.
Shelley hopes to eventually put together a team of players from these sessions. This will allow participants to take part in festivals and matches throughout South Wales.
“The football sessions follow successful ‘taster’ days held in Autumn 2007. Any children who did not attend the taster days but are interested in playing are welcome to join the sessions,” she said.
