Disability Sports

Andrew Simister, a Harrogate resident who lost his right leg in a 2022 car accident, has found purpose in padel, joining the Inclusive Padel Tour as its first British representative. With just one lesson under his belt in 2023, he entered international tournaments and now travels the world promoting disability inclusion in sports. Nominated for an award in adaptive padel, Simister highlights the sport's accessibility for those with mobility challenges.
