Sports Therapy students support the Roller Hockey World Championships

Foundation Degree Sports Therapy students have been given the opportunity to practice their skills at the Veterans Roller Hockey World Championships held in Beroun, Czech Republic. The students will provide support to all participating international teams; Italy, France, Slovakia, Great Britain, Scotland and the Czech Republic.

Sports Studies tutor Peter Wirt, who plays for York Flyers, is the manager and a vital player of the GB roller hockey team. He says: “This is the second roller hockey world championships event. All the players are over the age of 40 and therefore the sports therapy treatments are in demand! I am confident that the sports therapy students can provide first class sports therapy support as required at such a high profile sporting event.”
