During this workshop we address the implications for working with these impairment groups individually, in an integrated way, and/or offering impairment specific sessions, and how to deliver sessions accordingly. Practical elements include: group scenarios for providing practical solutions for disability-inclusion in tennis, participation in ‘disability simulation’ to allow coaches to experience the challenges faced by disabled people, followed by an opportunity to coach individuals with various impairments from the local community.
The Disability Awareness Course is designed to help coaches:
• Understand how disabled people can be integrated into non-disabled tennis sessions
• Increase their knowledge of impairment specific groups and the practical implications for coaches
• Raise their awareness of impairment specific performance pathways
• Develop their awareness of existing structures and opportunities for disabled people
This course is designed to provide coaches with a basic level of knowledge and confidence to deliver traditional and modified versions of tennis to disabled participants with a wide range of impairments.
The course will cover an overview of all impairment groups that have performance pathways, as well as looking at practical implications for coaches to assist them in developing either an integrated programme or to introduce impairment specific programmes, when appropriate.
