PITTWATER ​TIGERS

1 hour. However, if your player needs a rest/wants to finish/just wants to watch, that's all ok!

Our support team are all specialists in the field of all-ability sports, so this is exactly what they do, and enjoying doing - getting kids with disability involved!

They will use a variety of strategies to assist your child to enjoy their Kickability session, with a goal of being involved and participating by the end of the season!

No, Kickability is a non-contact game. However we will group players with like- minded sensory needs so those that don't mind a bear-hug hold, are together, and those that don't, are together. Or there may be no holding at all. The coaches will work with the players and each group to determine what's best!

A social story has been prepared to assist our Kickability Players to prepare for a session. We recommend you read this with your player a few times prior to the first session.

We will be sending out an "All About Me" form to every player so the Support Crew can learn all about the Kickability Team and players. This will cover likes/dislikes/ triggers/sensory concerns/motivators/ regulators/risks (e.g. absconding, high needs)/medical concerns/limitations.

One player loves the colour yellow, so we will ensure he receives a yellow footy for motivation and regulation. Another finds chewing raw pasta assists with engagement and regulation, so we will understand why he has a pocket of pasta! Parents can speak with the Support Crew before or after a session as required.

1 carer to 5 players. However, you are welcome to be hands on and support your child (we encourage it!) or bring your own carer who can get involved. Please ensure they wear runners/sports shoes.

Yes, absolutely. Please ask them to wear runners/sports shoes, introduce themselves to the Support Crew and get involved!

Kickability is very inclusive so we will try very hard to accommodate everyone's needs.

However, we would like to highlight that we are limited by our environment. It is played outdoors, on a grass field. Parking is around 100m away, however there is a concrete pathway to our Clubhouse from the northern car park. And of course there is a football and physical activity. However, Our Support Crew are very talented when it comes to inclusion and believe they can assist most players to get involved in some capacity!

If your child can be on grass, we will work something out!

If you have any particular questions regarding accessibility please send an enquiry to us with relevant information concerning any possible limitations for your player and we will seek a response from our Support Crew.

There is only one session per week - Sundays 10:30am May to September excluding school holidays. This will be a mix of drills and possibly a mini game, much like Auskick. It is held at North Narrabeen Reserve AFL fields.

Be involved as much or as little as you like. We encourage parents to come and watch, bring a picnic chair and enjoy a coffee or dim sim/sausage from our Club Canteen. Please say hello to the other parents too.

We also encourage parents to be there at the session to provide any support that your child might need.

There are 7 Kickability Programs / Clubs in NSW. A Gala Day brings teams together from these Clubs to hold Kickability games against each other, like a tournament!

If your child does not want to play in the Sydney Gala Day, not a problem, but we'd still like to encourage them to attend and be involved with roles like cheer leading (team songs!), water carrier, assistant coaches etc... it will be a lot of fun, even if they're not on the field!

In the event of rain occuring before the game, Council may decide to close the fields. If this happens, or in the event of adverse weather, Pittwater Tigers will post a notice on our Facebook page advising if Kickability is going ahead or not.
