We are proud to announce this new pilot program we are co-delivering with Disability Sport & Recreation, Variety – the Children’s Charity, City of Geelong, City of Ballarat and City of Melbourne.
Activate Inclusion Sports Days encourage and empower kids to explore sporting opportunities in their local community. Over three days, Inclusive sport will be celebrated in three cities across Victoria:
These days give kids the opportunity to try sports they might otherwise miss out on. Aimed at kids aged 5-18 with learning difficulties, intellectual, sensory and physical disabilities, the days are an opportunity to have a go in a fun and inclusive environment.
Each day involves:
a range of sports to try
specialised coaching
adaptive equipment
showbags
water and fruit
local sporting club exhibitors
access to community services
opportunities to network with other families and teachers
