This #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek VICTA Sport wants to highlight that sport is for everybody and that sense of being part of something and supporting each other can have a really positive impact on your mental health.

We chatted to Ellie, Millie, Al, Zehra and Sam, who have all come to showdown in different ways and at different stages in their sight loss journey, but can all agree on the fun, friendships and confidence they’ve built by giving it a go!

Find out what showdown is, why you should give it a try, and how to find a team to play with. Let us know if in the comments if you too are a fan of showdown!
