Abstract
Metro Blind Sport, a London-based sport and social club for blind and partially sighted people of all ages aims to encourage visually impaired people to not let their disability prevent them from taking part in a range of sports. Odette Battarel, a tennis coach at Metro Blind Sport who also has Stargardt disease explains how sight loss does not mean the end of taking part in competitive sport, and how being part of this community gives people much more than improved fitness: it improves coordination, boosts self esteem, and provides people with a valuable support network.
