tExcel UK has overall responsibility for UK wide national & international classification across the sports. We select and manage the GB Team to Virtus events and is the only portal through which athletes from the UK can compete in Virtus events. We support Sports Governing Bodies in their work with elite athletes with intellectual impairment and aides athlete's transition to governing bodies' Paralympic programmes where appropriate. We manage eligibility and classification for all athletes from the UK at both UK and international (Virtus) levels. We provide advice, guidance, signposts and support on sport for people with intellectual impairment across the UK. We led a campaign after the Sydney Paralympic Games in 2000 to have the IPC ban on athletes with intellectual disability competing in the Paralympic Games removed. The ban was successfully lifted in November 2009.

Superb news Inclusive Skating !!! Congratulations Inclusive - we are delighted to see the relationship with Virtus Sport formalised and thrilled that this will strengthen further how Inclusive Skating and Sport Excel UK work together here in the UK!

🌟 Inclusive Skating Becomes an Affiliate Member of Virtus! 🌟

We are delighted to announce that Inclusive Skating has been recognised as an Affiliate Member of Virtus, the global organisation that represents athletes with intellectual impairments within the global high-performance sport pathway and is a founding member of the International Paralympic Committee.

This is an exciting milestone for Inclusive Skating and reflects our ongoing commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for all skaters to participate, develop, and achieve their sporting ambitions.

As an Affiliate Member of Virtus, we look forward to working closely with the Virtus community to expand opportunities for our athletes and to build stronger pathways for participation and competition at national and international levels.

Over the coming months, we will be encouraging eligible athletes to explore membership with Virtus through the recognised Virtus member organisation in their home nation. This will help open doors to a wider range of opportunities and support the continued development of athletes with intellectual impairments within the sport of skating.

We are excited about what this partnership means for the future and look forward to sharing further information with our community soon.

Congratulations to everyone who has contributed to making this achievement possible. Together, we continue to make skating more inclusive, accessible, and ambitious for all. β›ΈοΈπŸ’™
