WHAT DO WE DO

CHOCS was formed in early 2008 to work alongside CHOC youth club by providing a facility based around sports for children with disabilities and special educational or social needs.

We provide a safe and friendly environment for these children to enjoy sports without having to compete with their "mainstream" peers.

We also provide an opportunity for these children to meet people with similar problems to their own which helps build their confidence and understanding of others.

We also provide an opportunity for local children with an interest in following a career in PE or sports to gain useful experience in working with special needs children. It is our intention that our "youth helpers" will be given the chance to attend the "How to Coach Disabled People in Sport" course which will help them gain entry to college or employment. 

A strong comeraderie exists between the children in our group and it is encoraging to see how the older children are very willing to help the younger ones in the group.
