ACE Inclusive Sports Club has now been running for over six years and has developed a friendly, family environment where parents can join in and volunteer, or are able to sit and natter.The club is a voluntary organisation run by Pete and Lyn McDonnell plus a dedicated group of parents and volunteers. Pete, who has a daughter with spina bifida ensures that there are no barriers to prevent any child participating in sport regardless of their disabilities or abilities. .

Members get the opportunity to participate in a variety of sports including kurling, boccia, rounders, hockey or wheelchair football. Currently, the club has children attending with Downs syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism and cystic fibrosis as well as able bodied siblings and youngsters completing Duke of Edinburgh Awards..

If the 2012 Olympics or Paralympics have inspired your child to get involved in sports email Pete about joining ACE or volunteering at the club. Email is: bigmac12@btinternet.com Website: www.acesports.org.uk Phone Lyn: 01427 610084.

Sessions are held every Saturday morning from 10am - 11am at the West Lindsey Sports Centre in Gainsborough, costing £3 per child each session, or £5 for siblings. Please contact Pete or Lyn first, if you are interested in attending, to confirm availability of a place..
