Our Mission
To promote and provide sports and recreational opportunities for people with disabilities in an inclusive social and sporting environment.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
On 12 February 2010 the Chaeli Sports & Recreation Club was born out of the Sports and Recreation Advocacy programme run by The Chaeli Campaign www.chaelicampaign.co.za .
The Chaeli Sports & Recreation Club welcomes people with disabilities and non-disabled people to sign up as members and participate in the sporting codes we support (Cycling; Road Running; Ballroom/Latin American Dancing). The Chaeli Sports & Recreation Club was established and registered as a result of The Chaeli Campaign identifying a need in the community for inclusive sporting and social activities, allowing both disabled and able-bodied participants to compete, often as adaptive duo teams.
The Objectives of The Chaeli Sports & Recreation Club are to:
- promote sport and recreation for people with disabilities;
- facilitate opportunities for people with disabilities to participate in various sports codes for the disabled;
- advocate for greater awareness of sport and recreational opportunities for people with disabilities within an inclusive environment;
- use its facilities and resources to assist the disabled community in any way it sees fit ;
- work in collaboration with other organisations for the advancement of sport and recreational activities for the disabled community;
- provide an inclusive environment in which disabled and able-bodied participants are given an opportunity to participate in competitive and social sporting codes.
