The Parasport Festival is designed to introduce pupils from mainstream schools with a physical, visual or hearing impairment, aged P1-S6 to try new and exciting sports. It has been identified that these individuals are significantly under-represented when it comes to participating in weekly sport or physical activity. The activities selected reflect the strong club structure in the region and the key impact of the event is to provide a multisport opportunity to these pupils, identify talented individuals within specific sports, alongside channelling pupils onto local, regional club programmes and sessions.
We would like to welcome back all pupils who have attended in the past, alongside engaging new pupils to attend for their first experience. Please watch our ‘Get Involved’ video which highlights the aims and impact of the event featuring testimonies from young people, parents, club coaches and professional officers.
The festival is a partnership event between Scottish Disability Sport, Active Schools, Angus, Dundee and Perth & Kinross Disability Sport Branches, Scottish Governing Bodies of Sport along with local community club coaches, to offer sessions in badminton, boccia, powerchair football, wheelchair basketball, athletics, judo, football, goalball, fencing and wheelchair rugby to young people across Tayside. This year will also see the introduction of a second day offering swimming and kayaking.
