Casos Prácticos Rugby Mixed Ability Casos prácticos Rugby Mixed Ability Primera edición, Febrero 2020 Casos prácticos Rugby Mixed Ability 1 Introducción Un elemento crucial del modelo Mixed Ability es poder dar voz a personas de nuestra sociedad que no están representadas como corresponde. También a todas esas personas que no han sido incluidas en el mundo del deporte. Gente real, historias reales, modelos a seguir reales, ¿quién puede explicar cómo funciona? y ¿por qué? Tras una larga actividad de búsqueda e investigación, sabemos ahora que Mixed Ability tiene un claro potencial de impacto social muy positivo. Impacto que va de los individuos, a la comunidad social al completo. Pero pensamos que las voces de participantes y personas beneficiarias son las más aptas, las que más se deben escuchar. Las historias llenan de inspiración. Este prospecto recoge y subraya el importante impacto positivo que se deriva de la participación en rugby Mixed Ability. La participación de toda persona en Mixed Ability rugby, funciona positivamente tanto en personas con discapacidad como en personas sin discapacidad. El recorrido se produce en todas las personas independientemente de su condición de vida y abarca desde un mayor bienestar físico, cognitivo y emocional, a un sentimiento de pertenencia e identidad, autoconfianza y autoestima. Paralelamente se evoluciona alcanzando una cultura que se convierte en más inclusiva y creadora de oportunidades a nivel grupal y social. Con estos cambios de base, podemos aspirar a cambios más amplios en las políticas y las percepciones sociales dando lugar a un cambio cultural en toda la sociedad. Esperemos que estas historias contribuyan no sólo a que las agrupaciones y federaciones lleven a cabo esta buena práctica de concebir el rugby como vehículo de cambio social, sino que inspiren a más participantes -con y sin discapacidad-, a árbitros, a clubs y a órganos rectores nacionales, a repensar el enfoque que actualmente dan a la inclusión y a convertirse en representantes plenos de sus comunidades locales.

Cork. ii AUTHORS NOTE & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT When the Cork Constitution Club celebrated the centenary of its foundation I had the privilege of writing the history. Now I have been entrusted with updating that chronicle. While obviously the emphasis will be on the events of the last twenty-five years - the most momentous period in the history of rugby union - as a tribute to the founding fathers, the first chapter of the original history will yet again appear. While it would not be practical to include a detailed history of the first 100 years chapter two is a brief resume of the achievements of the first fifty years and likewise chapter three embraces the significant events of the second fifty years in the illustrious history of one of Ireland’s great sporting institutions. There follows the detailed history and achievements, and they were considerable, of the last twenty five years. I owe a considerable debt of gratitude to many people for their help during the compilation of this book. In that regard I would particularly like to thank Noel Walsh, the man with whom I liaised during the writing of the book.

  • View Dolphin Centenary History
    “In the beginning” A Celebration of One Hundred Years of Dolphin R.F.C. 2002 - 2003 Compiled, and written by Ger Hodkinson. Layout by Kieran Dwyer. “In the beginning” A Celebration of One Hundred Years of Dolphin R.F.C. 2002 - 2003 © 2002 Dolphin Rugby Football Club 1st Edition Printed in Cork, Ireland by Watermans Printers Acknowledgments With the Centenary season fast approaching I was approached by Paddy Clery, Club President 2001/2002, to work on the club history. “Sure you have a lot of it done already”, referring to a few paragraphs I had done for the Club Newsletter. What a “hospital pass” it turned out to be. Where do you start on such a project, the club records were destroyed in a fire many years ago. Jerry Healy started on the Club History a few years ago, with the aid of our oldest member Sidney Mahony. He put together the short history which was contained in club programmes and membership cards over the past few years. Sidney has been very helpful; he can remember the mid 1920’s as if it were only yesterday. In recognition of this, the title of this book is the same - “In the beginning”. A Club is only as strong, interesting and colourful as it’s members. During my research I found many fascinating stories about “The People of Dolphin”. What I hope is that I have been able to capture these stories and do the many characters justice. This book could not be written without the assistance of many people, but where does one start.

Why – then – are there still so many people who face significant barriers to participating in mainstream sport as equal members? Where are their voices?

The Mixed Ability Model embraces and celebrates human diversity, and gives real opportunities for P. 10-13 Scientific people of all abilities, or facing a wide range of barriers to participation, to work together and empower themselves. Training in a mainstream club, being equal members, striving to improve personal goals, challenging stereotypes and the orthodoxy of sport (and disability sport along the way) and, yes, also The MIXAR taking risks.
