Have you ever thought about what your potential could be in competitive sport?
Are you 9 years old or older with a passion for sport and physical activity, and have either a physical, sensory or intellectual impairment?
If you can answer yes to these questions, then the Disability Sport Wales Performance Pathway team would like to hear from you.
Disability Sport Wales has prided itself on its success at major disability sporting events, winning more medals per capita than any other nation. We want this success to continue, but this can only happen by continuously finding the next generation of talented athletes and nurturing them into reaching their full potential. The Performance Pathway Hub is here is to provide an environment for individuals to learn, grow and develop, to help individuals to identify a sport to participate in and progress in competitive sport, and to give athletes the best possible chance of success at a World, Paralympic or Commonwealth Games. If you are interested in what the Performance Pathway Hub can offer you, please fill in the form below.
Not everyone with an impairment will have what it takes to become a world class athlete, but everyone should at least get the opportunity to try.
Disability Sport Wales wants to hear from every individual who is looking to find out what their potential could be within competitive sport, even if you have never done sport before or you’re looking at transferring to a new one.
The Light colour mode is designed using Disability Sport Wales brand colours, to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidance Level AA. This should provide good contrast for most users.
The Dark colour mode also uses Disability Sport Wales brand colours, but inverts light and dark to create a "night mode" version. It is intended for people who dislike bright screens, or wish to use their display in a more energy-efficient way. This option does not meet Web Content Accessibility Guidance Level AA, so may not be suitable for users with visual impairments.
The Calm colour mode uses colours which may be more suitable for users who are sensitive to bright colours, or prefer lower contrast. This option does not meet Web Content Accessibility Guidance Level AA, so may not be suitable for users with visual impairments.
The High Contrast option is tailored to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidance Level AAA, and is intended to make this website as accessible as possible to users with the lowest visual acuity. Ideal use of this setting would be combined with Medium Text or Large Text text sizes.
Buttons
Our default button style uses block-colour backgrounds that contrast against the page background.
You can optionally change this to use buttons that maintain the same background colour and text colour as the main website content, and signifies that is a button with an outline. This may be preferred by users who can read light-on-dark or dark-on-light with greater comfort.

Use of Capital Letters
