Disability Sport Fife

Sport for individuals with a physical, sensory or learning disability in Scotland is structured in such a way as to allow athletes to progress in their chosen sport from local representation, to national, British and then on to international level competition. In this respect disability sport does not differ from mainstream sport in allowing athletes to realise their full potential. Disability Sport Fife is a branch of Scottish Disability Sport. Referral can be made by self-referral or by a professional.
