Wheelchair curling is offering a talent identification and talent transfer opportunity for potential Paralympians. If you are currently performing in a sport, have the mindset, commitment and ambition to be the best you can with the ultimate aim of being a Paralympian, then we would like to support you to get there. Scottish wheelchair curlers have enjoyed many international successes (Paralympic Silver & Bronze, 6 x medallists at World Championships) and you could be a part of future successes. Save the date in your diary and give us a call or drop us an email to register your interest in attending.
