It will be a highly interactive day including practical ‘’Come and Try’’ sessions delivered by National Governing Bodies of Sport, educational workshops, demonstrations, and information stands from Dublin based clubs and organisations that are already offering inclusive opportunities.

Dublin SportAbility Day is suitable for people with a disability, parents, teachers, sports coaches, youth club leaders, students, volunteers, and anyone with an interest in sport for people of all abilities.
