COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
SportAbility offers individual or group ‘Try It’ opportunities for all of our sports. The opportunity and structure for a Try It differs with each sport (see each sport description below). Groups associated with our mandate – to provide persons with disabilities access to sport – may be exempt from costs associated to the Try It. However, donations are welcome for those who would like to give back to our association.
Please submit a request to find out more and book a session with us. SportAbility is also available to engage with community partners for presentation or event opportunities.
Why try an adaptive sport?
- Drive awareness about adaptive sport opportunities
- Be inclusive and integrative
- Introduce someone or a group to a sport for the first time
- It can be a great team building opportunity
- Because it is fun!
