STRATEGIC PRIORITY 2:
PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN SPORT IN THE COMMUNITY
How we will achieve this:
Our Community Sports Program is delivered to groups of individuals who are living with disability.
The programs are delivered for one hour per week for 10 weeks and consist of a range of physical movement activities, leading to a focus on a particular sport chosen by the group.
Our “Come and Try” Community events provide an inclusive setting for individuals living with disability to participate in a range of sport-based activities. The purpose of these events are to increase the participation of the individuals in physical activity and also provide an environment to experience the skills and activities that are expanded on in the 10 week sports programs. These days include a range of sports on offer.
Flying Forward Goals:
• Develop long term (3 years+) major partnership with disability
service provider to provide sports programs to their clients.
• Grow number of “Come and Try” Days and Holiday School Clinics
to at least one per month by 2025.
