History
Our Beginnings
Dizz Kidz was founded by Cathy Parvin at the University of Worcester. Originally starting as a trampolining group running on Sundays and Thursdays, the name was chosen through a competition by parents and children.
Growth and Development
Starting in 2003 as a multi-sports club, Dizz Kidz has grown to offer a variety of activities including:
- Basketball (by Worcester Wolves coaching team)
- Various sports and activities
- Wheelchair basketball
- Glide bikes
Our Focus
Dizz Kidz focuses on children with dyspraxia/DCD and provides sports participation without the pressure of competition. We allow children to enjoy sports at their own level, creating an inclusive and supportive environment.
Our Legacy with University of Worcester
The University of Worcester provided facilities for Dizz Kidz in its early years and offered student placement opportunities. Dizz Kidz was the university's first disability sports club. We now continue our mission at Perdiswell Leisure Centre in Worcester.
Our Philosophy
"Over the years we have had some excellent coaches bring their enthusiasm to a great bunch of kids who enjoy coming to sports club that is aimed at providing fun and exercise without the pressure of competition."
The organization emphasizes creating an inclusive, supportive environment for children with dyspraxic challenges to engage in sports and physical activities.
