There are a huge number of benefits to introducing a disabled satellite club, setting up a disabled club, or integrating athletes with disabilities into non-disabled clubs:

• ensures a regular supply of new members to safeguard the club’s future;
• increases club membership – leading to higher income for the club;
• more volunteers are recruited through parents and carers;
• provides future officials and administrators through mentoring/shadowing existing officers of the club;
• develops existing members - giving them the opportunity to face new challenges, roles & responsibilities;
• develops competitors/ players from an early age – leading to improved standards;
• raises the club’s profile;
• enhances all players awareness of disability, and the ability and competence levels of athletes with and without disabilities
