"The training has widened the perception of our coaches to do things that help the participant rather than make the participant fit the sport."

At Access Sport, we’re committed to building a community sport space where inclusion is not an afterthought, but the foundation.

That’s why we’re excited to announce a fresh set of open training sessions, designed to empower coaches, volunteers, and community organisations to embed disability and neurodivergence inclusion throughout their sport and activity delivery.

These sessions are open to everyone passionate about creating inclusive grassroots sport environments.
