Paralympics Ireland and Permanent TSB are delighted to bring to you NextGen!

Spokes in Motion had been approached by Paralympics Ireland to represent wheelchair tennis at the Northern Ireland regional leg of the Paralympics Ireland NextGen programme being held at the National Badminton Centre in Lisburn.

NextGen is a one-day regional opportunity to discover your paralympic potential through a range of physical challenges and exploring different Paralympic sports. There is also the opportunity to meet some of your Paralympic heroes and connect with local sports clubs to begin or continue your paralympic journey.

NextGen is open to people ages 15 and older that have a physical, intellectual, or visual impairment, with or without previous sport experience. We also welcome current or former athletes from all levels aiming to discover a new sport that can complement their main discipline.

Following participation at NextGen participants will be signposted to the closest local sport they are interested in or to National governing bodies to develop within a chosen sport.

Different sports are involved in different locations based on active clubs within that province.
