The Suncoast Spinners Wheelchair Sports Club is expanding its kids reverse inclusion programs this year with a new ‘Dance to Move’ program in addition to their Wednesday night ‘Wheelchair Basketball Kids Club’.
Suncoast Spinners president Bridie Kean said the success of the Kids Club which brought together children in wheelchairs as well as their able-bodied siblings and friends had led to adding the Dance session to the program.
“Our Kids Club is great and helps the children build confidence and wheelchair skills while playing sport with their siblings and friends.
“Now, in conjunction with Sorelle Dance Studio, we are offering the opportunity for the kids to have even more fun with our wheelchair dance program ‘Dance to Move’.
“It’s loads of fun, and we are expecting a lot of demand which is great.”
Both the Wheelchair Basketball Kids Club and the Dance to Move Program, are open for children from 4 to 14-years-old and kick of this week for term 1 and are free, thanks to generous support from Sunshine Coast Council and Qspec Building Mobility Solutions.
The Dance to Move Program runs on Tuesdays from 5pm to 5.45pm and the Kids Club runs on Wednesdays from 5-6pm and both are held at UniSC Sports Arena.
Suncoast Spinners is one of Australia’s largest wheelchair sports organisations and offers weekly social programs including wheelchair basketball, rugby and kids programs on the Sunshine Coast, Morayfield and in the South Burnett. The Suncoast Spinners also host Australia’s largest annual wheelchair basketball tournament as well as an annual Women’s Wheelchair Basketball Tournament.
