Their All Abilities programs offer a 45-minute to 1-hour weekly hockey session for 6 weeks, emphasising a fun, engaging, and inclusive environment. Geared toward developing social and motor skills, the sessions prioritise building confidence. Coaches and volunteers, equipped with inclusive coaching from our community workshop, boast either hockey coaching experience or a background in working with individuals with disabilities. With a commitment to a 1:3 coach-to-participant ratio, they tailor activities to individual needs and interests, acknowledging the uniqueness of each participant. All AAA Hockey locations feature a sensory room/area, providing a space for participants to regulate and rejoin the session at their own pace.
