At NRCLAC, we are proud to provide a welcoming, inclusive athletics environment where athletes of all abilities can participate, develop skills, build confidence and have fun.

Our Multi Class program supports athletes with disabilities to participate in weekly athletics competitions as part of our broader club community. Whether your child is new to sport, looking to improve their skills, or interested in representative competition, we will work with you to create a positive and supportive experience.

WHO IS THE MULTI CLASS PROGRAM FOR?

The program supports athletes with a wide range of disabilities, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, vision impairment, intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, and other conditions that may require additional support or classification.
​
If you're unsure whether the Multi Class program is right for your child, we encourage you to contact us to discuss your individual circumstances.

PARENT & CARER SUPPORT

Parents and carers play an important role and are welcome to assist their athlete throughout competition. Athletes requiring 1:1 support are encouraged to have a parent, carer or support person present. We work closely with families to ensure athletes are safe, supported and able to participate confidently.

HOW DOES SATURDAY COMPETITION WORK?

Multi Class athletes participate in weekly Saturday competitions at Kingsdene Oval, either with their age group or in a dedicated Multi Class group. Athletes can also progress to Zone, Regional and State Championships.
​
Our Multi Class program runs from 8:30am to 10:30am and includes five programmed events each week. Athletes are encouraged to participate at their own pace, develop new skills, achieve personal bests and enjoy being active.

CLASSIFICATION INFORMATION

Classification groups athletes with similar impairments to support fair competition.
​
Classification is not required to participate at NRCLAC or compete at Zone Championships. It is only required for athletes wishing to compete at Regional and State Championships.

NEED MORE INFORMATION

Every athlete is different. To discuss your child's needs or learn more about the program, please contact the NRCLAC committee — we'd be delighted to help.
