Sport
is an important leisure activity for many Australians as either
a recreational or competitive activity.
Socially,
it is a means of entertainment and enjoyment, as well as a way to
meet new people and form friendships.
Various local sporting programs have been designed specifically
for people with disabilities - the main focus being the health,
recreational and social benefits of sport.
In addition, there are many opportunities for people with disabilities
to participate in sporting competitions and events both nationally
and internationally.
