SEND outdoor games with Smile Through Sport: Summer of Play at Souter

Outdoor games and activities for young people aged 8-19 years with SEND.

Have a go at a variety of games and activities with trained coaches. Sessions will be tailored to the needs and interests of participating young people on the day.

Activities may include throwing and catching games, obstacle courses and boccia - a game related to bowls and petanque which tests precision and accuracy. At a Paralympic level the sport is designed for athletes with severe physical disabilities. However, boccia is played and enjoyed by people of all abilities.

This is a free event, but please book your place.

This session is designed for children and young people with SEND. Please note that these sessions will take place on the Leas, where terrain can be a bit bumpy. There is step-free access from the car park. If you have any questions about accessibility, please email c291dGVyIHwgbmF0aW9uYWx0cnVzdCAhIG9yZyAhIHVr.
