About Vikings Sports Foundation
Vikings Sports Foundation run a whole range of inclusive initiatives that give people from our community the chance to engage in physical, social, health and well-being programmes to improve their overall fitness.
Learning Disability Super League has continued to grow post covid-19, our players are passionate, dedicated and work extremely hard to break down barriers to play the sport they all love. Our LDSL team have participated in numerous festivals across the country, enjoying the highs and lows of the game.
The 2022 season enabled Vikings Sports Foundation to host a national festival at the DCBL stadium, this was a huge eye-opener not just for our players but for their family and friends. The Rugby League World Cup provided a vast amount of opportunity for our LDSL team to become volunteers in various roles, educating them into the world of work, developing knowledge of the sport and getting players excited for tournament.
Integral to Vikings Sports Foundation is engagement with the younger generation, we consistently provide sporting programmes for young people in our community. Creating strong working relationships with Primary & Secondary schools, community clubs and Riverside College to ensure Rugby League is a pivotal sport in our community.
Our men’s mental health programme Extra-Time runs weekly, this offers the opportunity for men in the surrounding areas to come to a safe environment, to meet, chat and listen to guest speakers.
