Loughborough Para Sport Take-over Week 2022

Loughborough Para Sport have announced their first ever Para Sport Takeover Week to commence week beginning February 28th 2022! And Power2Inspire is getting involved!!

In collaboration with the Para Sport Exec, the Takeover Week will see normal weekly sessions adjusted to allow students and staff to try the Para version of the Sport. Along with the Execs and members of Loughborough Sport, students with disabilities from across the University have been involved in the preparation for the Takeover Week, which will see over 25 Para Sport Sessions hosted across campus.

The regular Para Sport sessions, namely Wheelchair Basketball and Boccia, will remain in their usual slots and feature heavily during the week. Among others, sessions will be available in Wheelchair Handball, Inclusive Badminton, Sitting Volleyball, Inclusive Zone Basketball, visually impaired Tennis, Goalball, and Inclusive Futsal. Check out the Para Sport Exec’s social media for a full timetable! (@lboroparasport).

Alongside the sessions run by the CVA’s Student Activators, external organisations are also supporting the week, including taster sessions in Seated Netball and Goalball from Power2Inspire, Inclusive Badminton from Loughborough and AU Badminton and a selection of Para Tennis opportunities (Wheelchair Tennis, Mini Tennis, Quiet Cardio Tennis and Softball Tennis) offered by elite Wheelchair Tennis Athletes and Coaches from Loughborough.

The Takeover Week is a great opportunity to get involved with Para Sport on Loughborough Campus and highlight that Para Sport is for everyone to get involved with! These sessions are open to all staff and students and are available to book through the Lboro Sport App. We look forward to seeing you there!
