Take part, its great fun, you can do it! Just do it and take part. I would like to do wheelchair tennis and blind football and other types of disability football. Be good to do wheelchair tennis. More dance classes and fitness ( gym ) Don't make fun! More tennis, rounder s and cricket After a point, there's not enough of a push to encourage young people to participate in sports If you make sport more like video games or advertised during Needs more promotion - not to get active, but where you can get active More widely available to young adults 7
If possible try to make it cheaper in local venues Needs to be more widely available Wheelchair basketball Blind Football I would like to be more aware of sports around the area I think more disability sport should be introduced into the curricular and extra curricular so we could understand them better They do not promote sports Not enough publicising to the public Archery More athletics and more activities such as swimming More badminton More variety of sports It should be more widely available More sports should be available for disabled people in school in lessons Inspire people to provide new sports for disabled people Blind Football I would like more opportunity for young people to get into professional and semi-professional sports like football and also encourage sports to appeal to all abilities Say more about getting involved in sports outside of school People are too lazy. Need to get out and play basketball in the court, need to get motivated For sports everyday We should go to the gym for a day There should be a swimming pool More advertisement EVERYWHERE, encouragement I think more schools should make this happen There should be more community based projects school should be a definite priority for promoting disabled sports for young people - there should be some kind of involvement in the curriculum Would like to do wheelchair basketball. I have not done any disability sports and was not given the opportunity to. I would love to do all of them. I think everyone should do at least one sport for their year so they experience more. Would like to try Wheelchair basketball They should make more activities and tell us about it more often rather than not letting us know. 8
