VX - an inclusive sport

"I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the VX team for introducing this wonderful game.  Having worked with adults with learning disabilities for a couple of years, introducing them to a variety of sport and leisure activities, it has to be said, VX has proved the most accessible and fun yet!  It’s simplicity is what makes it, my students picked up the concept quickly and immediately felt involved in teamwork and strategy.  I have worked in a number of Primary Schools over the years (heading up the P.E. Department in a large Inner City Comp) and, looking back, this game would have been a real asset.  The chance for all to have a go at scoring is a real advantage and watching their individual motivations kick in is simply wonderful - they all had a thoroughly good work out and yet didn’t want to put it away!!! REALLY great concept.  Thank you!!!"

VX is known as a sport that is unusually inclusive as it is accessible to people with a wide range of physical and cognitive impairments even in its vanilla forms.  In some instances, yes, it has to be adapted but it is surprising in how many cases no adjustments need to be made.


As a sport, VX is increasingly being taken on in this area. For example a Special School in York tried a 4-week programme and was so impressed they bought the equipment to keep VX on the curriculum - and as a result it was included in the North Yorkshire Multisports Festival for children with Special Needs
