Keen to play? Adaptive sport is coming to RMIT!
Ever wanted to get involved in sport but felt like the opportunities weren't built with you in mind? RMIT Active is starting something new — adaptive sport — and we'd love for you to be part of it.
Adaptive sport is all about making sure everyone can get out on the court, field, or pitch, no matter your ability. These activities are designed to accommodate a wide range of disabilities, allowing students with physical, sensory, or cognitive impairments to engage in sport and physical activity. In other words, it's about making sure everyone has the chance to play.
No prior experience is needed — just enthusiasm and a willingness to give it a go.
We're currently collecting expressions of interest, which means this is your chance to help shape what adaptive sport at RMIT looks like. Your voice, feedback, and experiences will directly influence how these opportunities are developed.
Ready to get involved?
Let us know you're keen by filling out the expression of interest form and be part of the start of something new at RMIT.
Stay up to date with all things sport and physical activity at RMIT by following @RMITActive on Instagram.
Inclusive Sport Handbook
The Inclusive Sport Handbook is for anyone at RMIT University involved in sport, whether a club leader, participant, spectator, coach or competitive athlete.
Creating inclusive spaces and events is a display of ally-ship that affirms that all individuals have a right to participate in sport.
What makes this round truly meaningful in my opinion is how it goes beyond just being a fun, welcoming event. It really drives home the message that pride in sport and being an ally are crucial parts of our community. It reminds all of us in UniLax that our support and inclusivity can make a huge difference in how our sport welcomes, celebrates and brings people together.
Above quote from Claude Whittaker, RMIT student and competitor from the Lacrosse UniLax Pride Round. Listen to Claude talk about their experiences episode 16 of the Redbacks podcast.
