I didn’t let my VI get in the way of…
rugby
“I am 17, have a visual impairment and I play rugby; a sport that at first glance may appear as far from appropriate for the partially sighted as is possible.”
keeping fit
“I felt freedom whilst partaking in sports. Every little bit of built up emotions and feelings I could release whilst cycling, playing football again and even swimming.”
cricket
“In one of our school PE lessons a coach came in to do a session of visually impaired cricket and invited us to come to a taster training session at Chigwell School.”
