Rounders provided for young people with disabilities this summer

Young people with disabilities are being asked to come along with their parents and carers to enjoy rounders this summer in Dorchester.

West Dorset District Council has organised rounders sessions for young people with disabilities aged between 7 to 16 years old as a result of a £1,800 grant from Rounders England.

Rounders sessions will be held at Dorchester Sports Centre and St Osmunds Community Sports Centre from Thursday 24 July.

These sessions have been organised to fit in with the district council’s popular Artz+/Sportz+ sessions.

Bookings are advisable but people can turn up to the sessions on the day.

All sessions will all take place in the sports hall so can be played whatever the weather.
 
Sessions will be held as follows:

St Osmunds Community Sports Centre

• 11 to noon on Thursday 24 July
• 1.30pm to 2.30pm, Tuesday 29 July
• 1.30pm to 2.30pm, Friday 1 August
• 2pm to 3pm, Monday 4 August
• 2pm to 3pm, Friday 22 August
• 2pm to 3pm, Wednesday 27 August
• 11 to noon, Friday 29 August

Dorchester Sports Centre

• 11.30am to 12.30pm, Friday 15 August, Dorchester Sports Centre

Each session is £2 per child. You can book a child onto all eight sessions in advance for £10 (not transferable). Parents and carers are required to stay at the sessions and can play for free.

West Dorset District Council Leader Cllr Robert Gould said: “We would like to thank Rounders England for the grant so we can provide rounders in the district.

“The district council always tries to find new and exciting ways to promote healthy living in West Dorset.”
