No Exceptions Training (NET)
The No Exceptions Training (NET) Programme is facilitated and delivered by the Halberg Trust through the Sport Opportunity Programme.
The programme's purpose is to provide a national network for education and support for sport and recreation providers to enable them to increase their confidence, knowledge and skills, to create better opportunities for more disabled people.
The main way the programme achieves this is through the delivery of sport and physical recreation training workshops to assist community providers, teachers, coaches and community leaders with comprehensive and direct practical support for including disabled people in regular sport and physical activity programmes.
The workshops focus on inclusion of all participants into their physical recreation programmes, adaptation of games and some ideas for new games that can be used with children. The workshops deliberately use a practical approach, and the promotion of positive attitudes toward disability, sport and physical activity.
The workshops can be offered to individuals or groups with an interest or involvement in providing sport and recreation that wholly or partly includes, or is likely to include disabled people. Workshops are designed for particular target groups (e.g., Module 2 - Success in Schools is aimed at teachers). Workshops can also be customised to suit the needs of particular sports and/or interest groups.
For more information about these workshops contact your local Sport Opportunity Advisor or the Halberg Trust by email office@halberg.co.nz or phone 09 579 9931.
