Lockyer Valley Abilities Unleashed Kids

Disability Sports Australia and Lockyer Valley Regional Council are excited to announce the Lockyer Valley Abilities Unleashed Kids!

Get active with us in a positive and inclusive environment at Lockyer Valley Sports and Aquatic Centre on Tuesday, 10 September, 2024. 

Children aged 5-18 years living with sensory, physical and intellectual disabilities are invited to this free event. Proudly supported by 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 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.

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 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!
