Ladder Golf: For Fun, Fitness and Fund-raising



Ladder Golf is played by throwing a 50cm long cord with a golf ball tied at each end, towards the target ladder, which is placed 5m away.  Scoring depends upon which rung of the ladder the golf balls land on; with higher points for the more difficult rungs.  With 3 points awarded for the highest rung, 2 for the middle, 1 for the bottom (and 0 for a miss!), the first player to score 15 points is the winner.


Ladder Golf is excellent as a sport to improve hand-eye co-ordination, as well as being great fun!  It is great as an addition to any P.E. class, for personal enjoyment, or even as an activity for a fund-raising event.
 
The Ladder is made of lacquered metal tubing to make it weather-proof so that it can be used even when the weather is not at its finest.  The Ladder is 100cm high and 60 cm wide.

This year, the Tour de France is coming to the UK.  For the first time ever, the Tour de France will begin in Yorkshire.  This is an ideal opportunity to gain lots of publicity for your organisation, as the Tour de France is set to be the event of the summer - if not the year!

The Tour de France is not just a bicycle race for the able-bodied and for athletes, it is an event which everyone can join in with.  For those with less lower body strength - or indeed for those in wheelchairs, the Tour de France may appear off limits.  Not so!

Dr Stephan's world-acclaimed Star Rider is a beautifully-designed vehicle which everyone can use.  Designed to aid in upper body strengthening, as well as general mobility and body co-ordination, the Star Rider isan ideal vehicle to enable everyone to join in the Tour de France.  As well as being a great means to develop physical skill, the Star Rider is a lot of fun.

The Star Rider is 75cm long, so is suitable for people of all ages, from the very young to the more mature.  It is also surprisingly inexpensive, which means that should you wish to have a fleet of these vehicles, the cost will not be prohibitive.

Join the fun. Get involved in the Tour de France with Dr Stephan's amazing Star Rider.

Numbers Throwing Game



This game can help to improve throwing accuracy and allows children to become accustomed to the numbers in several game ideas - such as a simple maths question -  2 + 3 = 5 being answered by trying to hit the correct answer with the ball, or counting up the numbers each player hits on a turn to see who gets the highest score.

Three Senses Ball

  • Children can see, hear and feel the inner balls (3 Senses).

  • For Individual Therapy, the ball can be rotated by hand for about 10 minutes so that the small and large inner balls circle one another.

  • The ball is slightly elliptical, thus bounces in different directions.

  • The higher the ball is inflated, the better you can feel the inner balls.

  • The ball is delivered flat and requires a pump such as our own Pump 650-15 to inflate.

  • The 3 Senses Ball is an excellent aid for people with physical disabilities, in addition to being a great deal of fun.

Soft balls for safe play


 Setting up the Ballos is quite simple: Insert balloon in the opening of the fabric cover and inflate until tight. Then stick the balloon to the mouthpiece and turn the Ballos a couple of times and push the mouthpiece back into the opening.  The Ballos floats like a conventional balloon and can also be used as a water ball. Brilliant toys for babies as they cannot be swallowed and no harm comes from biting them.  A beautiful sound can be made by placing a bell in the balloon then throwing the Ballos. Areas of application include: physical education, toddler groups, baby swimming and therapy. Our Ballos promotes manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination.
