Pierre De Coubertin Academy 2011

For a number of years now I have been a presenter at the annual Tasmanian Olympic Council's Pierre De Coubertin Academy.  My role is to provide an overview of the Paralympics and what better way than to proivde the students with the opportunity to try first hand 3 of my favourite Paralympic Sports:

- Goal Ball
- Seated Volleyball
- Boccia

It's always great to see the students and parents getting into involved with the activities and this year was no exception (despite the very wet and sloshy synthetic turf!)   While we did have a lot of fun I hope that the students took away a bit of new knowledge about the Paralympics and some ideas for running inclusive activities in their schools and communities)
