Rhondda Cynon Taff
Hi, welcome to the web page for Disability Sport Wales. My name is Shelley Jones (Coster) and I am the Disability Sport Wales Development Officer for Rhondda Cynon Taf!
I have been involved in disability sport on a regular and voluntary basis from a young age, including sports such as swimming, football, archery and a number of other activities. Personal sporting background includes Welsh badminton and county level netball and hockey.
I will be working in partnership with Disability Sport Wales and Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council to positively promote disability sport, increase the number of participants involved in disability sport and maintain a high standard of delivery for participants.
I am currently in the middle of an extremely busy work programme including new initiatives, clubs and sessions. Some of my priorities included in this programme are football, swimming, athletics, badminton, karate and boccia. I have a number of open/come and try days organised which if you visit the ‘events’ section of this page, will provide you with more information on these days.
Another priority of mine is the promotion of ClubMark. This is a mark of quality and recommendation for clubs associated to Disability Sport Wales. If you or your club would like more information on ClubMark please contact me using the details provided.
I am also aiming to increase the number of volunteers available to clubs and groups within Rhondda Cynon Taf. If you would like some more information on our programme, please visit our volunteering counts section.
If your club is not featured on this website and you would like it to be, or if you would like any additional information on any of our programmes such as Clubmark or Volunteering Counts, please do not hesitate to contact myself either by phone or e-mail at Rhondda Cynon Taf.
I look forward to hearing from you soon !
