Disability Sports

Disability Sport is a fully inclusive element of Sport Hampshire & IOW enabling sport for all. In any sport, there are people with mixed abilities and those with disabilities are simply part of that range.

Sport Hampshire & IOW through the work of the Disability Sport Development Officer, is dedicated to ensure that that attitudes change and facilities are provided so that anyone can have a go at the sport they love.

Aims

  • Increase sport and recreation opportunities within the education/youth sector
  • Where appropriate, encourage the inclusion of disability into mainstream sport
  • Train and educate coaches and sports and leisure providers
  • Increase participation, particularly in swimming and football
