Disabled Sports
Sport Haslemere have made disability sport a key focus for the future as we try to make sport a practical and attractive lifestyle choice for disabled people. We want to get more disabled people playing sport.
In the local area Frensham Pond Sailability, Haslemere Tennis Club, Swallows Trampoline Club and Beacon Hill Football Club lead the way and details of these clubs are to be found in The Clubs section. We really need other local clubs to follow their examples and be more inclusive for all levels of ability.
N.B. From experience we know that ‘pots of funding money’ for new facilities suddenly become easier to find, when a club is actively promoting disabled sport!

Accessible Sailing for All
If you have a disability or long term illness and you are looking for a physically active and competitive outdoor sport, why not come along to Frensham Great Pond on any Thursday or Saturday morning between April and October? You will find the water filled with sailing boats! Most of the sailors will have various disabilities, but this does not stop them sailing, either independently on their own, or with one our volunteer helms.
