Our Commitment

Our club welcomes all members of the community, regardless of their abilities. We will include people with disabilities in our club in both playing and non-playing roles to the greatest extent possible.

We will endeavour to make our league as accessible as possible, this includes but is not limited to; access to team, meeting and social evening venues and the ability for individuals to play for a team at all competitions.

We will make all possible and reasonable modifications that promote inclusion.

What We Will Do

• Put people first, focus on what they can do and find out how they want to participate.
• Ask each individual – and their parents if the participant is a child – for their advice about what modifications would help them to participate.
• Where possible, make adjustments to our coaching, equipment, rules or playing environment and modifications to club premises (e.g. putting in a ramp).
• Be honest and explain if certain modifications or adjustments are not currently possible.
• Communicate with people and share club information in appropriate ways and formats.
• Expect all members of our club to accept and welcome people with disability.
• We want to ensure that people of all abilities are included in our club’s social activities and are recognised for their contributions and achievements.
• Have strong policies to ensure that people can play sports and participate in our club without discrimination, harassment or bullying.
• Provide information about other options for participation outside our club; for example, letting people know about sports that are primarily or only for people with disability, or clubs where major modifications have been made to increase opportunities for participation.

What WE Ask You To Do

• Tell us what we can do to help include you in our club
• Understand that we will do our best to make any necessary adjustments or modifications
• Talk to us if you have any concerns or ideas to help us make our club more inclusive.
