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

Children aged 5-18 years living with sensory, physical and intellectual disabilities are invited to this free event, presented by Disability Sports Australia. Proudly supported by Bellingen Shire Council and MatchWorks, this one-day multi-sport come and try day encourages and empowers participants to explore local adaptive sport and active recreation opportunities.

With the support of our Official Healthcare Partner Bupa, Matchworks and The Australian Sports Commission, these days mark the initial steps in the active journey of an adult living with disability. Each event aims to motivate and enable participants to discover local active opportunities within a fun, safe, and inclusive environment. Participants will have the opportunity to experience a variety of sport and active recreation activities on the day.  

How the day will look

Participants will be split into smaller class groups (maximum 20) 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 1:00PM.  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.
