The event will be open to all 5–18-year-olds living with a disability, and is aimed at helping them overcome barriers to taking part in sports, and showing them the range of sports available to them.

Specialist coaches, adaptive equipment and representatives from sporting clubs will be on hand to ensure the kids can try softball, athletics, cricket, football, gymnastics and ten pin bowling in a fun and inclusive environment.

“At Variety we believe all Aussie kids deserve a fair go, and no matter where they live or their ability they can take part in a sport they love,” Variety CEO David Sexton said.

“We hope the Activate Inclusion Sports Day will provide a chance for local kids to overcome the barriers to taking part in the activities available.” 

Sport NSW Chief Executive Officer Darren Simpson was thrilled to partner with Variety.

“We are excited to deliver the Activate Inclusion Sports Day and hope the kids feel encouraged and empowered to explore the sporting opportunities available to them.”

The Orange Activate Inclusion Sports Day is one of a series of events to be staged by Variety – the Children’s Charity and NSW Sport throughout NSW to help kids living with a disability overcome the barriers to enjoying a healthy lifestyle.

The event will run from 9.30am to 12.30pm.
