A badminton coach in Yorkshire is helping people with disabilities to realise their love for badminton as she pursues a dream career.
Mother-of-two Emma Smethurst, from Halifax, attended sensory sport training delivered by leading disability charity Sense and has subsequently run sessions at various sports days across the north of England.
Smethurst had no prior background in disability sport but her love for badminton combined with a desire to seek a new challenge led to her running sessions in the community.
“I wanted to provide an experience that’s safe and welcoming again for everybody,” said Smethurst.
“Badminton is very accessible and though we’re not playing proper badminton of 21 points over the net, we are doing different types of game-related activities to boost hand-eye coordination.
