Sport and physical activity should be accessible to everyone. Inclusive and adaptive sports provide opportunities for people with different abilities to stay active, develop new skills and enjoy being part of a team.
In Cambridge, inclusive activities can help children, youth and adults participate in sport in a supportive and welcoming environment.
Adaptive and Inclusive Sports
Many traditional sports can be adapted to suit different physical and developmental needs. Activities may include hockey, swimming, athletics, basketball and other individual or team sports.
The focus is not only on competition but also on participation, movement and enjoying an active lifestyle.
Building Skills and Confidence
Regular participation in sport can help develop strength, coordination, balance and endurance. Team activities also provide opportunities to practise communication, cooperation and social skills.
A positive environment allows participants to progress at their own pace while building confidence through new experiences and achievements.
Sport for Everyone
Inclusive sport is about creating opportunities and removing unnecessary barriers to participation. With appropriate support and activities, people with different abilities can experience the physical and social benefits of regular exercise.
Cambridge’s active community can play an important role in making sport, recreation and healthy living accessible to everyone.
