There is a particularly close link between the CELTS Women and the Wheelchair team, as the CELTS Womens team's Holly Hinchey is the Head Coach of the CELTS Wheelchair Basketball Club.
In fact, Holly has recently been awarded the Sports Council for Wales' coveted Coach of the Year Award 2007 in the Coach to Disabled Persons : Participation category....as a small recognition for all her hard work with the CELTS Wheelchair Basketball Club.
The Cardiff CELTS Wheelchair Basketball Academy currently has two teams which play in the third and fourth divisions of the Great Britain National League.
The 2006/2007 was the Wheelchair Club's first competitive season - and the CELTS got off to a very promising start which we are helping to build upon.
The CELTS Wheelchair Basketball Club was awarded the title of "Best Performing New Club" by the Great Britain National League for its performances in the 2006/2007 season - a honour rarely handed out by the National Governing Body of Wheelchair Basketball in Great Britain. The Club is also currently working towards Club Mark accreditation from the Sports Council for Wales.
All of the Clubs training and home matches are played at Coleg Glan Hafren's Trowbridge Campus and full details of the Clubs training times and match schedules can be found of the Wheelchair Basketball Website (please use the link above)....
