The Multiclass Sports Association was founded in 2013 by group of teachers and parents from specialist schools, in Melbourne. The aim was to hold a snowsports event in conjunction with the Victorian Interschools Snowsports Championships.
The Multiclass Event was established to provide the support necessary for people with an intellectual or physical disability, who participate in and love skiing or snowboarding, to train and compete in a safe and supportive environment, alongside the mainstream snowsports programme. Together with Disabled Wintersport Australia, we organise a three-day camp at Mt Buller, with two days of training and coaching on the slopes, followed by a race day, as part of the Victorian Interschools competitions.
The highlight of the
event is the race day - the pre-race nerves, to exhilaration and joy as
athletes finish their run, is nothing short of inspirational. Achievements are
acknowledged and celebrated at the evening medals presentation for Victorian Interschools.
The Multiclass Snowsports programs are open to all people with an intellectual or physical disability, from both mainstream and special schools, as well as via the Special Olympics pathway.
