Inclusive Sport Sessions in Norwich

Join us every Wednesday for our Inclusive Sports Club! Open to disabled groups, individuals aged 16+ and their carers, the session features a variety of sports including football, hockey, tennis, circuit training, and more.

Our Inclusive Cycling sessions take place outdoors on the Sportspark track, offering a safe and welcoming space for cyclists of all abilities to enjoy being active.

Each day includes two 45-minute sessions, with up to 10 cyclists per group, accompanied by a family member or carer. Participants are welcome to bring their own bikes or borrow one of our specially adapted cycles. These sessions are designed to be physically and mentally stimulating, and most importantly, fun.

Cyclists can take part at their own pace, with opportunities to develop skills, build confidence, or train towards competition. Sportspark volunteers will be on hand to issue bikes and helmets and provide guidance throughout the session.

Family members or carers are responsible for supporting the cyclists, including helping them on and off bikes and providing assistance as needed.

Sessions cost just £1.50 per participant, and due to high demand, we recommend booking in advance by calling 01603 592398.

Our Inclusive Climbing sessions are open to all abilities and provide a safe, supportive environment to build confidence and have fun on the wall. Led by two qualified instructors, these sessions are tailored to suit each participant’s needs, whether you’re completely new to climbing or looking to develop your skills.

Please note that a form must be completed before taking part, so we recommend booking in advance by calling 01603 592398. For more information, contact our Sport Development team at scd.sportspark@uea.ac.uk

This session is designed for children with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND) and their siblings.

Each 45-minute class gives children the chance to explore and play on all our gymnastics equipment with the support of their parent or carer. A new themed setup is created each week to keep sessions fun and engaging.

We recommend one parent, guardian or carer per child, though two children to one parent is also fine. Parents are responsible for their children throughout the session, and two qualified coaches will be on hand to offer guidance and support.

No music is played during these sessions to create a calm and comfortable environment.

Session cost: £5.75 per person

A fun and uplifting 45-minute exercise-to-music class that’s gentle, effective and easy to follow. Each low-impact routine is designed to improve balance, coordination, joint mobility and posture while keeping you moving to the music.

This group meets every Monday from 2:15pm to 3:15pm at Sportspark and is led by Pearl Cooper.

The cost is £3 per person, payable to the volunteer in the Sportscafé before the session. This helps us keep an accurate attendance record.

About the Session

Enjoy a friendly, mainly seated exercise-to-music class designed for people with Parkinson’s. The sessions are gentle, enjoyable and focus on improving mobility, coordination and confidence. Carers are very welcome to attend.

Carer Guidance

For new attendees who are accompanied by a carer, we ask that the carer stays for the first two sessions. This allows Pearl to complete an initial assessment and discuss any specific support needs.

If you have any questions about these arrangements, please contact Pearl Cooper on 01603 455149. These guidelines are in place to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort.

Stay for a Chat

After each session, many participants stay for coffee or tea in the Sportscafé (55p per person). It’s a great chance to relax, make new friends and share experiences.

How to Join

There’s no need to book in advance, simply come along and join us. We look forward to welcoming you.
