Sporting Respite – The Ultimate Fan Experience

Fit to Play’s Ultimate Fan Experience is more than just some time out – it’s a gateway to independence, confidence, and lifelong memories, all captured through the joy of sport.

The Ultimate Fan Experience includes:

Live games/competitions: Experience the thrill and atmosphere of live sports. Attend multiple games/competitions at various levels, from professional matches to local games. Feel the excitement of being a spectator and cheering on your favourite team with your peers.
Hands-on skills and fitness: Practice and develop your sporting skills and improve your fitness. Engage in physical activities tailored to suit your ability. Whether you're trying a new sport or honing your existing skills, there's something for everyone.
Themed activities: Get creative to enhance your game day experience. Make banners, flags, and other fan gear to cheer on your favourite teams. Learn all there is to know about your favourite sport by testing your knowledge with our group quizzes and games.
Memory-making moments: Capture and celebrate your journey with photos and personalised memorabilia. Every participant will leave with keepsakes that remind them of their amazing experiences and the friendships they’ve made.

Respite done differently

Our Sporting Respite program offers people 18 years and over who have an NDIS plan the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of sport. Our expertise is providing 24-hr support by our health and fitness professionals in a small group environment. We engage with like-mind people who feel comfortable and safe being supported within a small group of individuals.

We work with a 1:2 to 1:3 support ratio to ensure your personal needs are met, as well as the opportunity to make new connections. Creating a sense of belonging through common interests like sport, drives our greater vision on holistic care.

Sport. Watch it. Play it. Talk it.

A typical sporting respite stay is over two nights and three days. We spend our time focusing on our love of sport in addition to providing capacity building support to enhance independence and strong social connections.
