The Sportarray Roundup Issue 6 Summer 2014 The Sportarray Roundup - Sporting opportunities for disabled people in North Somerset – Introduction Welcome to the latest edition of the Sportarray Roundup, aimed at anyone interested or involved in local, inclusive sport. Sportarray is a North Somerset Council initiative aiming to increase the number of disabled people regularly playing sport. We’re supporting clubs, coaches and volunteers to gain knowledge and skills to provide new inclusive sport sessions as part of their club activities. This edition is packed full of local opportunities in a range of exciting sports. Read on to see how many you can spot…! 1 Issue 6 Summer 2014 Feature article: A Guide to Inclusive Communications The English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) has produced a guide to inclusive communications. Written in partnership with Big Voice Communications, it supports providers to reach a wider audience, including more disabled people. It aims to address the main communication barriers that many people experience in sport and physical activity, which also stop disabled people from accessing some opportunities. As well as providing essential better practice guidance on planning, terminology and language, it explains the purpose of accessible formats and shows how providers can get the best from their communications. There are approximately 11 million disabled people in the UK (one in five of our population). As a group, disabled people are a large proportion of this potential audience. As with any other large group, there can be no one-size fits all approach to how or what is communicated with disabled people and despite the advances in technology, there are still a number of different factors that can prevent groups of people or individuals from receiving communications. The way in which disabled people access communications may be different to non-disabled people; and people with different impairments have different needs or experience different ‘barriers’ to accessing information. EFDS hopes this new guide enables more providers to understand the principles of and benefit from inclusive communications. The guide is available in various formats. To download a copy of the guide visit www.efds.co.uk 2 Issue 6 Summer 2014 Club Development Disability sport should seek emotional connection: study Disabled people are more likely to respond to activities which connect to their everyday values, according to a new English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) report. The Motivate Me report – researched and produced by 2CV on behalf of EFDS – claims that the majority of current sport and physical activity initiatives aimed at disabled people fail to engage audiences effectively. This is attributed to sports providers tending to focus on the audience’s disability or impairment when offering sporting opportunities and promotions – and missing out on the emotional connection that is often required to attract disabled people. For details visit http://lei.sr?a=z5a5z Players New list of inclusive sports clubs in North Somerset We’ve put together a list of inclusive sports clubs in North Somerset, which highlights the local clubs that we’re supporting to become more inclusive through our Sportarray initiative. For your e-copy visit www.n-somerset.gov.uk/sportarray If your club is looking for support to create new opportunities for disabled players, either through dedicated or mixed ability sessions, please email us to find out more at [email protected] 3 Issue 6 Summer 2014 Training New training course coming to North Somerset for those supporting disabled people to get into sport – book now! To continue the momentum and create a lasting legacy for disabled people after the London 2012 Games, a new training course is being delivered through the English Federation of Disability Sport and sports coach UK. This new national workshop will provide first step training to improve knowledge, competence and confidence in delivering sports-based activities to disabled people. It has been designed for coaches, leaders, assistants and parents who support community groups in England. It helps them to develop the skills and confidence to include disabled people in grassroots sporting activity. The key focus for this initiative is to engage those individuals who are not traditionally associated with the sporting landscape but who currently have direct contact with disabled people and would like to encourage and support them to take up sport. Thus, the target audience for the training includes: • Support workers • Parents / carers • Health care professionals • Volunteers • Community organisations and groups By educating and working directly with these community providers we have the opportunity to further establish a pathway for disabled people in physical activity and sport. Details of the training are as follows: Date: Wednesday 16 July Time: 6pm – 9pm Venue: Hans Price Sports Centre, Marchfields Way, Weston, BS23 3QP To register your interest in this course email [email protected] or call 01275 882 734. 4 Issue 6 Summer 2014 Sportarray practical training review We recently ran a practical inclusive sport training session for local sports clubs at Hutton Moor Leisure Centre in Weston-super-Mare. The training gave local sports coaches and volunteers the opportunity to take part in a range of practical activities demonstrating key general principles for delivering inclusive sport within your club. The session also focused on how to adapt different sports to include disabled players with a range of different impairments. Coaches and volunteers attended from sports including bowls, cycling, outdoor pursuits, rugby, dance, snooker and martial arts. Those local clubs will gain further support through our Sportarray initiative to deliver opportunities for disabled players inclusively as part of their main club structures. Feedback from the training session was very positive and further dates are planned for later this year. To express an interest in future inclusive sport training sessions for a coach or volunteer from your club please email [email protected] or call 01275 882 734. Local roundup...

As well as raising the profile of disability gymnastics and increasing demand, the scheme will support a network of clubs and coaches to plan and deliver quality sessions. As part of this, Gemini Gymnastics Club in Blackfriars Road has been selected to become one of just 14 Disability Hub Clubs in England which have been chosen for their expertise and track record in providing great opportunities for disabled people. Each Hub Club is tasked with organising and holding a number of engaging gymnastics taster sessions, festivals and competitive events which will appeal to a wide spectrum of disabled people aged 11 and above. Gemini Gymnastics Club currently runs two weekly sessions for disabled people and also supports a small number of people in its mainstream classes. It coaches a total of eight people, some with physical additional needs and some on the autistic spectrum. Director of coaching, Jill Pope, said: “We are thrilled to have been recognised by British Gymnastics as one of the foremost clubs delivering disability gymnastics, and to have been chosen by them to be instrumental in delivering this new initiative for disabled people.” The club has provisional dates in place for a taster session on 2 August, a festival on 4 October and a competition on 23 November. Look out for confirmation and further details in our next issue.
