Inclusive Sport Fortnight is part of my Yes You Can campaign which aims to increase accessibility in sport and diversifying the offer.
Working towards my manifesto point ‘to work with sports teams to promote accessibility for all levels of student ability’, I am working with the University Sport and Physical Activity Team to plan two weeks of inclusive sports that all students can get involved in!
Inclusive Sport Fortnight is part of my Yes You Can campaign which aims to increase accessibility in sport and diversifying the offer.
The aims of this event are:
- To get parasports on the map at Derby University by laying the foundation of a Parasports program
- To encourage existing sports teams to make their sport more accessible by training in a different way
- To raise awareness of the difficulty and talent needed to partake in parasports
- To promote the values of the Paralympics including courage, determination, inspiration, and equality
The schedule of activity includes 9 inclusive sports such as TAG Rugby, Para Badminton, and Wheelchair Basketball, check out the full schedule of events and book your place via playwaze.
Whether you are currently involved in a university club, or haven’t played a sport since P.E. at school, no matter your ability, I would love for you to come along to one of our sessions.
