Academy centres Llanelli Weightlifting Academy and Strength Academy Wales join forces to develop Para Powerlifting in Wales.

Collaborating with the Para Athletics Coordinator at Welsh Athletics, several athletes have been signposted to the academy centres for dual sport opportunities, introducing them to Para Powerlifting and developing their conditioning for both Powerlifting and other sports.

The academy centres offer an inclusive, supportive and thriving environment where similar minded athletes from various sports come together to improve their performance, inclusive of Olympic Weightlifters, Para Powerlifters and various athletes conditioning for their sports.

Following a previous and very successful Performance and Pathway development HUB hosted at Strength Academy Wales, the National Governing Body will once again collaborate with Disability Sport Wales, to host a development day at Strength Academy Wales exclusively to develop Para Powerlifting. Details of which will be announced and promoted later this year.
