It’s time once again for us to shift gears and transition back into our indoor wheelchair athletics programming. Please find information below on our roller sessions, Oval T&F program, and the dates of our weekend clinics. For liability reasons, a yearly BCWSA membership will be required to regularly participate in any of our programs, which costs $10. If you are unsure of the status of your BCWSA membership for this year, please feel free to contact me.
Looking forward to another great year of indoor training!
