Special Olympics East Herts

Ware Rebels work closely with Special Olympics East Herts to support the development of SOEH Basketball Club. The club provides the opportunity for both children, young people and adults with learning difficulties to participate in basketball on a weekly basis. Rebels support the club by providing coaches to deliver at the sessions and are also looking to further develop this partnership by offering SOEH the opportunity to attend Rebels home fixtures and participate in sessions before and during senior fixtures on the show court.
