The Cerebral Palsy Sporting and Recreation Association will bring its CPSARA Connect to the Central Coast on Sunday, July 23, with a multi-sport social day for people with a disability.
The event follows the success of a similar day held last year.
It is for people with any type of disability to try new sports and make new friends in a safe and inclusive environment.
Run by CPSARA, the event aims to encourage both sporting and recreational opportunities for people of all ages with cerebral palsy and associated conditions, with a focus on enabling social inclusion and enjoyment through sport, whether it’s just for fun or to pursue sport at a competitive level.
As a Central Coast local, CPSARA Ambassador Rae Anderson is proud to bring such a big day to her hometown with the support of Central Coast Council and the local community.
“We are reaching out to organisations and schools who support people with a disability,” she said.
Suitable for all ages, all abilities, all disabilities, all sporting and recreational levels of experience, the day will offer participants the chance to try adaptive sports including football (soccer), wheelchair basketball, boccia, pickle ball, yoga and circus.
There will be a meet and greet with local Paralympians, Pararoos and Para Matildas including: dual Summer and Winter Paralympian and Para Matilda Rae Anderson; Para Matilda Tahlia Blanshard; and Pararoo Jeremy Boyce.
CPSARA will provide a light lunch to all attendees and carers on the day.
Volunteers are also being sought to help out.
The event will be held from noon-4pm on Sunday July 23 at Niagara Park Stadium, Niagara Park, facilitated by CPSARA with the support of Disability Sports Australia and Central Coast Council.
