No Exceptions Training
The No Exceptions Training (NET) programme is a SPARC initiative, which is facilitated and delivered by the Halberg Trust through the Sport Opportunity programme.
The programme's purpose is: "to provide a national network for education and support for sport and recreation providers to enable them to increase their confidence, knowledge and skills, and create better opportunities for more people with disabilities."
The main way the programme achieves this is through the delivery of sport and active leisure training workshops. These are designed to assist community providers, teachers, coaches and community leaders with comprehensive and direct practical support for including people with disabilities in regular sport and physical activity programmes.
What does a workshop include?
The workshops focus on inclusion of all participants into their physical education programmes, adaptation of games and some ideas for new games that can be used with children. The workshops deliberately use a practical approach, combined with the promotion of positive attitudes toward disability, sport and physical activity.
Who is it offered to?
The workshops can be offered to individuals or groups with an interest or involvement in providing sport and leisure that wholly or partly includes, or is likely to include, people with disabilities. Workshops are designed for particular target groups (e.g. Module 2 - Success in Schools is aimed at teachers). Workshops can also be customised to suit the needs of particular sports and/or interest groups.
