AC Coaching and Sports Development Limited

A great session, giving a taste of inclusive sport. All participants were engaged in the activities and were able to learn new skills in a safe and supportive environment. A great experience.

I had the opportunity to attend a training day with Alan Caron for wheelchair basketball. It was an incredibly fun day! Everyone had the opportunity to take part and experience such an amazing sport. It enthused me so much, I was eager to join a wheelchair basketball team within my local area. I would highly recommend AC coaching for their services - thank you for such a great day!

The wheelchair basketball session was really well run. It was fun as well as insightful giving me a huge appreciation of the power of sport for those in a wheelchair and I would not hesitate in recommending AC coaching and Sports Development to others.

Really great session again! This was my second time playing wheelchair basketball and it was equally as enjoyable if not more. Really encourages teamwork and has a laugh. Would recommend.

Had my third wheelchair basketball session with Alan and enjoyed it just as much as I did the first and second time. He adapted our mixed ability group well by making it easy to play for lower ability and incorporated challenges for those who had previously done it before with some experience. Great fun and would highly recommend. I am definitely always willing to play basketball after my experiences with Alan! Thank you!

It was a really fun night and I enjoyed so much. Really good for teamwork and I would do it again anytime.

Very good session, which all those involved with really enjoyed. It was pitched perfectly to a mixed ability group - those who had never played the sport and those who had. All were engaged though and the whole experience was received very well.

West Mercia Police Cadets undertake a qualification during their time with us. Part of this qualification is a module on Diversity. Alan from AC Coaching has been delivering wheel chair basket ball sessions to us now for 3 years. These sessions are not only great fun but also give an insight into the difficulties experienced by wheel chair users on a daily basis. Alan is great at what he does and we can't recommend him enough.

The wheelchair basketball sessions delivered by AC Coaching were greatly enjoyed by both staff and students. Alan was very professional and involved all the children throughout the session; even during the parts where they weren't actually in a wheelchair they were fully engaged by watching and cheering others who were having their go. It certainly achieved the aim of promoting Paralympic Sport at my school. The children were buzzing about it afterwards!

"The year 7 students had a fantastic time doing wheelchair basketball with Alan. Very well delivered and the students want to have more opportunities like this. ".

Alan was just amazing. Our 6th form students organised a wheelchair basketball competition to highlight the engagement and sport skills of disabled athletes. Alan was professional, supportive and just so enthusiastic with our students and the competitors.

Alan and his team just the best at getting the most out of you.

Really enjoyed the session. Alan is enthusiastic and made the session great fun!

Our primary PGCE students so value working with Alan. He enables them to consider inclusion in PE in a very worthwhile way. They gain so much and enjoy the epxerience of a wheelchair basketball game themselves. This really helps them to consider the importance of their role.

Really fun session and good enthusiastic coaching session! Would definitely recommend and would love to do it again! Everything was well explained including the types of injuries and the sport.

Lowriders has helped me so much not just improving my skills for wheelchair basketball but also my confidence and I've made lots of new friends. The coaches put so much effort and commitment in to running it every Saturday, also making sure the kids are in the right wheelchair and are comfortable.

Lowriders coaches are fantastic their dedication and enthusiasm is a great team effort thy don't just focus on the children's skills they work on team work individuals and look at the individuals needs ie: the correct wheelchair, harness and how comfortable the children are within the wheelchairs…All in all their dedication is admirable and humbling!

The children have LOVED wheelchair basketball. They have impressed us with their skills! Mr Caron has been brilliant with the children and has developed their skills week after week.

AC Coaching delivered a wheelchair basketball session for a group of our young people from the YMCA Black Country Group at a local leisure centre. The session was excellent, it was well delivered and everyone enjoyed themselves. Highly recommended, and we will be booking again!

AC Coaching - Fantastic coach, made everyone feel involved regardless of skills. Fun entertaining and vast knowledge. Made our staff lessons different and enjoyable.
