Sports and Leisure

This post is all about wheelchair sports and hobbies.

There is a really amazing and extensive website I came across, called d-ability.org. Originally I planned to include several links, paired with the videos on the YouTubeSCIrehab site (yes I mention that site often, but I really want you to go look!), to give a good impression of whats out there. However, this website happily blows me out of the water! This website has described themselves as the "disAbility Leisure, Arts, Sports and Lifestyle WebGuide", and they most definitely have something for everyone.

This is a very succinct introduction: there are several broad categories listed along the top of the website, each filled with an index of options, with each option containing often several examples.

For example, in ArtyFarty, and in Dance, among the many examples is a link to this video:

In Health and Wellness, under Clothing and Fashion, among the 28 choices there is a link to able2wear.co.uk/ with a whole range of designed for wheelchair use clothing.

In Leisure and Outdoors, under Hand Cycling, there are so many links to describe the sport and specific individuals who partake.

And after that, there are still the Sports, Travel and Hot Links categories. Each category is filled with so much to explore, and very conveniently packaged together in one site.  You might even find that a hobbie or sport that you thought you would have to give up, is actually quite popular in the SCI community. Either way, you won't know until you look - Curious yet? :)

Enjoy!
