MP encourages young people with disabilities to join local sports club

19th September 2012

Margot James is encouraging children and young people with disabilities to participate in adapted sports by going to one of the weekly sessions at the Crystal Leisure Centre in Bell Street, Stourbridge. Friday Sports Club offers the opportunity to try out new sports such as indoor hockey, rounders, cricket, football and basketball. The sessions are held on Fridays from 5-6pm during term time, and children aged 8-16 years with any kind of disability can attend.

Margot said: “If ever it needed proving that we should be encouraging more children and young people with disabilities to try different sports, the success of Team GB at the Paralympics has shown it. As such I am delighted that the Crystal Leisure Centre is running Friday Sports Club and I’d like to encourage anyone who is keen on sport to try it out. I am sure Stourbridge has a future paralympian in its midst.”
