Para Athletes
Para-Athletics is now at PAHC!
Our club nights are open to para-athletes wanting to compete at club level. Some Para athletes will compete in wheelchairs, some with prostheses, those who are visually impaired will receive assistance from a sighted guide.
Some Para sports are unique, but the difference between an elite Paralympic Athlete and an Olympic Athlete is actually...nothing. Both train and compete with the same level of dedication and determination. The Paralympic Games takes place every four years and is now one of the most competitive multi-sport competitions in the world. The Para athletes that take part are amongst the fittest, strongest and fastest athletes on the planet.
PAHC is very fortunate to have John Eden as one of our new permanent coaches. John is an ex Australian Olympic Para medalist (originally from NZ) and former coach of the Australian Para Olympic Medalists. So if you want to learn from one of the best come along to a club night.
Go on. Join the PAHC. Mauria te pono - believe in yourself!
