Without wanting to wish away our lives, we are very excited about next year and London 2012 in particular.

There was huge publicity and demand Olympic tickets. Here at Little Big Sports we were lucky to get our hands on tickets for the hockey, so the whole family will be able to enjoy the Olympic experience. I can safely predict that my son's new sport of choice next August will be hockey!

Obviously most of the events at the Paralympics will be family friendly but some will be more appropriate for all the family than others.
