April Update from AAA Play 

Sport has the power to bring us together, and that has never been more obvious than now. At AAA Play we have been constantly amazed and impressed by the programs and resources that our partners are creating, which so many participants are enjoying together. We may not be able to play in the same place, but we are certainly playing together. 

There are online virtual training sessions, dance challenges, free online programs, skills and drills being shared over social media, and so much more. There are so many opportunities for connection through sport and physical activity, and it's helping to keep us not only physically fit and healthy, but supports our mental health as well. 

(Talking about health, if you need some extra resources to support yourself, your family or your colleagues, VicHealth has an awesome Resource Hub where they are sharing heaps of advice and information).

Finally, a call out. If you know of any awesome resources or programs that are online and accessible for people to do in their homes, please email request@aaavic.org.au and we can spread the word, to make sure everyone has plenty to keep them active and engaged. 

In the Spotlight

Looking back: April 29th - International Dance Day

It's not too late... Join Special Olympics and AAA Play to show the world how the Special Olympics movement stays fit AND connected through the joy of dance. Even though we are physically distancing, everybody can choose to include by inviting people of all abilities to come together on social media for a worldwide moment of connection!

If you prefer to be guided through the dance, why not join Dance and Roll for their Thursday evening dance class over Zoom?
