Parasports

Making a sports facility accessible is not only about routes, entrances, changing rooms and accessibility. The sports materials themselves must also suit the users and the type of sport.

Think of adapted installations, safe setups, sufficient room to move and materials that are easy to use for athletes in a wheelchair or with another disability. We are happy to help think along about a furnishing that makes sport more accessible.

Within para athletics, adapted materials may be needed to make training sessions and competitions possible. Think, for example, of throwing platforms or other sport-technical provisions that match the discipline and target group.

A good athletics setup offers athletes stability, safety and enough space to perform their event properly. W&H can advise on which materials are suitable for your athletics facility or sports project.

Wheelchair fencing is used in fencing for wheelchair users. The setup must be stable, safe and practical, so that athletes can move well and the competition can take place in a responsible manner.

With wheelchair fencing, it is important that the installation meets the sport-technical requirements and provides sufficient support during training sessions and competitions.

Sitting volleyball is an accessible form of volleyball in which players play while sitting on the floor. The sport is practised by people with and without disabilities and requires an adapted net setup.

For sitting volleyball, suitable volleyball posts, nets and field layout are needed, among other things. The net height and setup differ from regular volleyball, which makes good advice important when furnishing it.

Wheelchair basketball is a fast and dynamic team sport. For a good setup, suitable basketball installations, sufficient clear space around the court and a suitable sports floor are important, among other things.

W&H supplies basketball installations that can be used in sports halls and adapted sports facilities. In doing so, we are happy to think along about use, safety and accessibility.

An inclusive sports environment gives as many people as possible the opportunity to exercise, do sports and participate. That requires conscious choices in furnishing, materials and accessibility.

We supply, among other things, materials for para athletics, wheelchair fencing, sitting volleyball and wheelchair basketball.

Pay attention to accessibility, free room to move, safety, adapted sports materials, surface, routes and ease of use for athletes, supervisors and trainers.
