Find wheelchair sport and community

Let your interests lead

Would you like to meet people, try something new or take part in regular sport? You do not have to aim for competition or take on a particular role. Watching first or asking questions can be a useful starting point.

Start locally or look further

Rollstuhlclub Aargau provides a local starting point. The Swiss Paraplegic Association’s club directory widens the search to other regions. These links are provider portals: PCHO is not confirming a date or an available place.

Ask before joining

• Who is the particular activity for, and is membership required?
• Is there an introductory visit or a route for beginners?
• Do you need your own equipment, or can something be borrowed?
• What are the transport, entrance, changing and toilet arrangements?
• What assistance is available, and what must you arrange yourself?
• What fees and cancellation conditions apply?

Clubs and activities have different requirements. Get the important details confirmed for the activity that interests you.

Communication is part of access too

Someone who is also Deaf or hard of hearing can ask about written information, visual instructions or their preferred communication method. A wheelchair-accessible venue does not resolve every access question.

Decide at your own pace

Choose your own level of involvement. PCHO does not assess fitness for sport or provide training instructions. Direct individual health questions to an appropriate professional and organisational questions to the organiser.
