Ongoing Support and Community Building
Module 5: Ongoing Support and Community Building Learning Objectives
- Recognize the importance of ongoing learning, support, and community building for sustaining inclusive sports programs.
Building an Inclusive Sports Community
One of the key takeaways from our Inclusive Sports Needs Assessment was the importance of community and partnerships. We encourage all coaches who are interested in creating or expanding inclusive sports opportunities for their students to reach out to other coaches and build their community and networks with other coaches in this space. A great place to start is by contacting individuals in the different local, state, and national organization resources that have been provided in this training. Also, attend the inclusive and adaptive sporting events happening in Ohio to build your community and network.
Continuous learning is also important for building successful Inclusive Sports programs, therefore we recommend that coaches look into other trainings from organizations like Move United and stay informed through subscribing to newsletters of key Inclusive and Adaptive Sports organizations.
Now after completing this course, we invite you again to pause and reflect. When you hear or read the words "disability" or "disabled," what words or phrases immediately come to your mind? Think back to the words or phrases that came to your mind at the start of this training and reflect if your understanding of disability has shifted after completing this training.
