Banyule Variety Abilities Unleashed Kids School Holiday Program

Disability Sports Australia and Banyule City Council are excited to announce the Banyule Variety Abilities Unleashed Kids School Holiday Program!

Get active with us in a positive and inclusive environment at the Banyule Nets Stadium on Thursday 3 October, 2024.

Children aged 5-18 years living with sensory, physical and intellectual disabilities are invited to this free event. Proudly supported by Variety - the Children's Charity Victoria and MatchWorks, this one-day multi-sport come-and-try day encourages and empowers participants to explore local adaptive sport and active recreation opportunities.

This project has received grant funding from the Australian Government managed by the Australian Sports Commission.

How the day will look

Participants will be split into smaller class groups (maximum 20) upon registration. After a welcome at 1 PM, they will rotate across 4-6 stations. These activities will consist of modified sport and active recreation with the use of adaptive equipment to suit the participants. The stations will be facilitated by specialised coaches with the support of students and community organisations.

The formalities of the day will finish at approximately 3:00 PM.  Participants will need to bring their own snacks and lunch in the breaks.

A detailed run sheet will be provided one week prior to the event.

Photography

There will be videographers and photographers capturing content of the event with the intention of promoting disability inclusive sport. A media consent form will be sent across. On the day, participants wishing to not be captured will be given the choice of a coloured wristband or bib.

Places are expected to fill quickly, register today!
