Getting active isn’t just about fitness. Sport is a brilliant way to meet people, build confidence, and feel part of a community. Our sports activities bring together people with different levels of hearing loss, communication preferences and experience, so everyone can take part and feel included.
Whether you’re completely new to sport or getting back into it, there’s a place for you at CDA.
CDA Pickleball Club
Every Friday, 5pm
Bushfield Sports Centre
CDA Pickleball Club runs every Friday evening at Bushfield Sports Centre and is open to deaf adults of all abilities.
Pickleball is a fun, social sport that’s easy to learn and quick to pick up. The rules are simple, the pace is friendly, and you don’t need any previous experience to join in. Many of our players started as complete beginners.
The club is made up of deaf players who enjoy learning together, supporting each other and having a good time while getting active. Whether you come on your own or with a friend, you’ll be made to feel welcome.
Why Pickleball?
- Easy to learn, even if you’ve never played before
- Great for fitness, balance and coordination
- Highly social and relaxed
- A supportive deaf environment where everyone learns together
Just come along, give it a go, and see if it’s for you.
Deaf Football Sessions (Children & Young People)
Wednesdays, 7pm
Powerleague, Peterborough
Our deaf football sessions give deaf children and young people the chance to play football in a fully accessible and inclusive environment.
Sessions are led by qualified coaches and supported by BSL communication throughout. Great Britain deaf footballer Matt Wheeler is also involved, helping inspire and support young players.
A team will be formed from these sessions, with opportunities to compete in local and national tournaments, giving deaf children the chance to play football, develop skills, and be part of a team.
For many deaf children, sport can feel isolating if communication is a barrier. These sessions remove that barrier, allowing players to fully join in, communicate with teammates, and enjoy the social side of football — which is just as important as the game itself.
Why Deaf Football Matters
- Fully accessible with BSL communication
- Inclusive, supportive environment
- Builds confidence, teamwork and communication
- Helps deaf children enjoy sport and feel they belong
