What is inclusive sport
Inclusive sport is sport that welcomes and supports people of all abilities to take part in a way that works for them. There are both team and individual sports, with options that include:
- wheelchair sports
- seated activities
- modified sports with flexible rules or adapted equipment.
You do not need to be an athlete to join. Some activities are social and relaxed, while others offer training and competition. People can take part in many ways, including as a player, a volunteer, a coach, or a supporter.
All abilities sport for children
Families can also find a range of inclusive sports and activities for able-bodied kids and kids with disability. These programs are designed to be fun, supportive and flexible, helping children to:
- build confidence
- learn new skills
- improve coordination and fitness
- make friends and feel part of a team.
Many are adapted to suit different needs, with options such as smaller group sizes, modified rules, and specialised equipment. Some providers and programs offer learn-to-play sessions and family-friendly events where parents and carers can get involved. They also have experienced coaches and support staff who understand different abilities.
