MFTTA All Abilities Program and Fit and Fun Day
“All Abilities” is a term that refers to people whose physical, cognitive, behavioural and other capabilities may be different. MFTTA welcomes these people so that they have opportunities to have fun and to grow. We run sessions every week for All Abilities players including Fit and Fun days and we work with many All Abilities organisations including Focus, GenU, Belgravia Leisure, and the Shire of Mornington. We were the shared winner with Mornington Shire and our partners of the 2018 Victorian Sports Award (Local Government initiative of the Year category) for Fit and Fun day for All Abilities program - a prestigious award.
