More Details
The Sports Ability program is based around five games:
Boccia - a bowls-type target game played at the Paralympics. Boccia is suitable for all abilities, and provides an ideal vehicle for inclusion.
Goalball - a Paralympic sport developed for players who have a vision impairment. It is an exciting invasion game that introduces new challenges to both sighted and vision-impaired players.
Sitting volleyball - a Paralympic sport for players for whom standing volleyball may not be an option. As all players remain seated during play, sitting volleyball is an excellent inclusive game.
Polybat - an accessible version of table tennis, particularly useful for young people who have coordination and control impairments. Polybat can also be used to introduce younger children to table tennis.
Table cricket - a dynamic table version of cricket for players of all abilities, but specifically those with complex or higher support needs. It retains the three main elements of cricket - batting, bowling and fielding as well as most of the key rules.
RESOURCES:
The resource materials consist of easy-to-use activity cards and instructional DVD's.
Training is available in each state and territory via state departments of education or through the Australian Sports Commission's Disability Sport Network (Richard Nicholson 2009 - 0402 462 220, 02 6214 1521)
