Abilities Unleashed - Youth and children

The Abilities Unleashed program allows kids to try sports they might otherwise miss out on.

Aimed at kids ages 5 to 18 with learning difficulties, and intellectual, sensory, and physical disabilities, it gives them an opportunity to have a go in a fun and inclusive environment.

The day involves:

• a range of sports to try

• specialized coaching

• adaptive equipment

• show bags

• local sporting club exhibitors

• access to community services

• opportunities to network with other families and teachers.

Benefits of attending:

• the health benefits of physical activity

• building social wellbeing and friendships

• strengthening balance, coordination, and mobility skills

• working as part of a team, collaborating, and planning

• increase self-esteem through a sense of achievement.

Disability Sports Australia aims to get more Australians with a disability active more often while working nationally to support sport and active recreation participation.

Variety - the Children's Charity believes all kids deserve a fair go. They provide practical and essential support to kids who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs.
