Welcome to the Game

Welcome to the Game is dedicated to supporting children and young people from diverse backgrounds (and their families) living with a disability to access sports & recreation opportunities in their local community. 

We have certified inclusive coaching and cultural inclusion experts that can help deliver programs, projects and activities in Basketball, Football and Swimming. 

We believe that coaching is an human activity, with people at the centre and strive to create a safe and inspiring environment to help everyone reach their potential. 

The WTTG approach includes the following:

  • Working with existing All Abilities programs to better include people from diverse backgrounds who may be underrepresented in their activities and programs
  • Working with existing groups and organisations that deliver programs in areas of high diversity to build their capacity for disability inclusion
  • Individual Access Support- a case management approach for families who are ready to try a sports program of their choice
  • Welcome to the Game Swim
  • School Holiday clinics
