The Sports Mad Xperience was a long weekend packed with adrenaline, competition, and pure fun. From intense rugby matches to courtside basketball thrills and the rush of water skiing, every moment was filled with action. Whether you were scoring tries, cheering for your team, or gliding across the water, this was a weekend to remember.
This action-packed weekend offered the perfect mix of physical challenges, spectator excitement, and water adventure. We started the weekend with a high energy rugby session, testing the participants endurance, teamwork, and strategy. After this, we watched the HSBC International Rugby Sevens at HBF stadium, to see how the professionals do it! Then, transition to the electrifying atmosphere of a live Wildcats game at RAC Arena, where every dunk and buzzer beater kept you on edge of your seat. To top it off, we hit the water for an exhilarating session of water skiing, delivered by our fantastic member club the Disabled Water Ski Club. The team carved through waves, trying to master their balance. Beyond the sports, WADSA participants enjoyed the camaraderie of teammates and friends, unforgettable moments, and the satisfaction of pushing their limits.
