Jenny and Alex first set up Nova Sports in 2017 having attended the University of Bath and studying Sport and Social Sciences together. After graduation, an obvious lack of opportunities in Bath for disability sport led to the realisation that there was a huge need for some specialist provision. From this was born Nova Sports and Coaching, a not-for-profit C.I.C! Our passion for helping people with disabilities derives from numerous volunteering hours across many years prior to Nova Sport. We had no family members or friends specifically linked to having a disability that prompted us to set up the business, just a huge desire to help people who don’t have the same quality opportunities as others! Nova Sports continues to thrive and helps around 1,000 people a year! We are qualified to coach more than 12 sports such as wheelchair basketball, powerchair football, boccia, rugby, skiing and loads more! We have created an organisation that is like no other in the country and we are exceptionally proud of it.
