Why We Need Accessible Sports

Accessible sports should be available in every school because they support unity and inclusivity for all members of the community. Accessible sports encourage people to be independent, rely on themselves and acknowledge what they bring to the table. They challenge people to improve both physically and mentally to persevere and overcome challenges. It is important for people to be able to adapt to be successful in life.

There are many kinds of sports for people with disabilities, such as wheelchair basketball, seated volleyball, and beeping baseball (a form of baseball for the blind). Accessible sports can be for anyone, such as people who are injured but still want to stay fit. When I played basketball, I understood the importance of accessible sports and had lots of fun! This just shows that no matter what disability you have, you can still play sports.
