The Professionals All-Abilities Program
The Capras Community Care All Abilities program is designed to allow people of all ages and any ability to participate in Rugby League related activities that promote Health and Well-being, while allowing a higher level of social engagement within a group setting. Through the use of semi-professional athletes, the All-Abilities programs are run by our players to promote leadership skills that can be used in life after football.
Target Of the Program
Our program is designed for everyone and encourages participation for those persons with a disability who may not have opportunities to participate in structured sport due to a variety of external factors.
Frequency of the Program
The program runs in line with our CQ Capras HPC team draw with approximately 5 games played before the Capras main game across the season. Each team has allocated training sessions in the weeks leading up to the games.
Objectives:
To promote a higher level of well-being by engaging in Rugby League related activities and provide a social group setting that anyone can be a part of which will allow for improved capacity in social settings.
Structured Rugby League Program
Our All-Abilities program is a structured non-contact version of Rugby League. Designed to foster inclusivity and provide opportunities for all, especially individuals with disabilities who often face barriers to participating in structured sports. Running parallel to the CQ Capras HPC team draw, it includes approximately five games played before the CQ Capras main game throughout the season. Each participating team is allocated training sessions in the weeks leading up to these games, ensuring that all players, regardless of ability, can hone their skills and enjoy the camaraderie of team sports. By focusing on inclusivity and accessibility, our program aims to break down barriers and create a supportive environment where everyone can experience the joy and benefits of sports participation. Our All-Abilities program is FREE to join and open to all ages.
