The Sainsbury’s School Games is a unique opportunity to motivate and inspire millions of young people across the country to take part in more competitive school sport. Canoe England are focusing on Level 1 and Level 2 activity for both Primary and Secondary School Students.
Level 1 – sporting competition for all students in school through intra-school competition
Level 2 – individuals and teams are selected to represent their schools in local inter
school competitions.
Sainsbury’s School Games and Canoe England hopes to increase opportunities for young people with disabilities to compete at both of these levels by:
Enabling participation in regular competitive activity at each level of the Games
Developing meaningful competitive opportunities as part of the school sport pathway
Raising confidence levels
Changing perceptions and enhancing understanding of disabled people to provide
inclusive opportunities to compete alongside non-disabled athletes.
Canoe England encourages inclusive competition and activity where disabled participants can take part alongside their peers. The Your School Games Challenge cards offer a range of suggestions for adapting activity to suit participants with a range of needs.
