Neelu Jennings, disabled athlete and disability rights advocate is creating sports and recreation opportunities that all people can partake in together, irrespective of their ability.
Integrated sports are adapted versions of mainstream sports that have been specifically designed so as many diverse participants can play the sport to their fullest. This means people of all abilities can play together in teams. The rules for the games are tailored to those playing.
In conjunction with Wellington Rugby Football Union and Capital Football, the integrated games of Walking Rugby and Walking Football will be trialled this February and March.
Diverse teams will try out the games for 6 weeks, every Sunday from the 12th February from 2pm at the Hutt Old Boys Marist Rugby Football Club (Myrtle Street, Lower Hutt). All community members are welcome, disabled or not, to come and give the new games a go.
