Disability Sports Australia and Variety – The Children’s Charity are delighted to announce Activate Inclusion Sports Days are coming to Victoria.
This program is designed for students aged 5 – 18 years with a physical, sensory or intellectual disability to come along and experience a range of adaptive sporting activities in a fun and inclusive environment.
In 2022, Variety – The Children’s Charity will partner with Disability Sports Australia to deliver this adaptive sport and recreation program to both metropolitan and regional VIC.
Since 2016, this program has engaged more than 6,000 participants with physical, sensory and intellectual disabilities. The program focuses on creating a safe environment that inspires students and instils belief that with the right support, they can achieve great things.
The program allows students to participate in sport and active recreation through adapted game play, and also fosters strong social engagement for the students with disabilities.
Activate Inclusion Sports Days will be highly relevant this year, following a lack of community engagement and increased social isolation in 2021 due to COVID-19. The program will help keep students engaged and active, with support that encourages ongoing participation.
The Activate Inclusion Sports Days are free for students to attend, and we recommend registering now as spots are limited for each day and traditionally sell out.
To register, simply go to http://www.activateinclusion.com.au/ and register for the day and event near you. Our Activate Inclusion Sports Day team will then get in contact and send you school an information pack.
For any enquiries, please contact the team at aisd@sports.org.au
