Maribyrnong Variety Abilities Unleashed Kids

Ready to embark on a day of fun, movement, and new experiences?  

Disability Sports Australia and Maribyrnong City Council invite children living with disabilities to our free Variety Abilities Unleashed event.  Proudly supported Variety Victoria - The Children's Charity and Matchworks, this multi-sport come and try day marks the initial steps in the active journey of children living with disabilities. Each event enables and empowers participants to discover local active opportunities within a fun, safe, and inclusive environment. 

How the day will look

Participants will be split into smaller groups upon registration. After a welcome at 10 AM, 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 1 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 intentions of promoting disability inclusive sport. A media consent form will be sent out prior to the event. We ask that you please fill this out before the day. On the day, participants wishing to not be captured will be given a choice of a bib or coloured wristband.

Places are expected to fill quickly, register today!
