Our Inclusive Sports program, is focused on building up the student’s awareness of available adaptive sports for those individuals with mobility issues in an inclusive setting. These programs exist to help integrate both able-bodied and disabled individuals into inclusive sports opportunities. One of our sayings here at Move Along is…
You don’t have to be able-bodied to play, and you don’t have to have a disability to play accessible sports! Come experience the newest sports in town!
Demonstrations Available:
Program/Presentation options available for Schools & Organizations
To help promote the general awareness of adaptive sports available today, Move Along offers three basic programs to engage students or adults. These programs enable the audience to understand the similarities to conventional able-bodied sports and a chance to experience the joy of adaptive sports. Move Along will offer custom variations of these programs should your needs be better served by this approach.
