Weightlifting Wales, Disability Sport Wales, Welsh Powerlifting Association and British Weightlifting are working together to identify and develop the next generation of Welsh Para Powerlifting stars. We are looking for people who have a specific physical impairment and are passionate about sport and would like to explore their potential in Para Powerlifting.

You do not need to have any experience of Powerlifting – you may be taking part in other sports, or training at a gym and feel that Para Powerlifting could be an opportunity for you.

The times and locations for all of the different sessions are as follows:

• Saturday 5th October - Canolfan Brailsford Sports Centre, Bangor
• Saturday 5th October - Coleg Sir Gar, Llanelli
• Sunday 6th October - Strength Academy Wales (SAW), Haverfordwest

All of these sessions take place from 10am-1pm.

• Ages 15+

   

• People who have a specific physical disability. Short in stature, have a lower limb impairment or sustained a spinal cord injury and certain types of cerebral palsy.

   

• If you are considering competing in Para Powerlifting.

   

• If you aspire to compete for Great Britian at the Paralympics and/or Wales at the Commonwealth Games.

We will provide support and guidance at scheduled talent identification days with additional opportunities to get involved with Para Powerlifting.

The days will be delivered by experienced coaches who will give you the opportunity to try Para Powerlifting in a fun, supported environment.
