Able Too Games 2009

 

 

 

The Able Too Games are organised by the Able Too Forum to provide opportunities for people with disabilities to take part in and enjoy a range of sports. The aim of the day is to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for people with a disability to engage in sport and to promote long-term involvement in a range of activities.

 

 

The Able Too Forum is an independent, constituted body established to “increase opportunities for people with a disability to take part in and reach their full potential in a range of sports and activities.

 

The majority of people taking part in the Able Too Games are aged between 6 and 19 years from a wide range of backgrounds and with a range of disabilities. The intended outcomes for these people are as follows: 

• Increase the levels of participation in sport and physical activity amongst young people with a disability
• Provide sustainable pathways between the Able Too Games and local sporting clubs to ensure long lasting participation
• Increase the awareness of opportunities for young people with disabilities within and beyond sport
• Develop and increase provision of future opportunities
• Promote and develop teamwork between young people with disabilities from all backgrounds and across the spectrum of disabilities
• Increase self-confidence of young people with disabilities
• Promote a sense of achievement amongst young people with disabilities
• Increase and improve the fitness levels of young people with disabilities

Volunteers from local disability gateway clubs and Fountain Special School will also be supervising during the day.
