Project Title: Adaptive Running Program for Children with Disabilities in Los Angeles
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Fast Feet seeks funding to support the expansion of our adaptive running program serving children with disabilities at Aviation Park in Redondo Beach, Los Angeles. Recognizing the transformative impact of physical activity on the overall well-being and development of children with unique needs, our adaptive running program provides a supportive and inclusive space where they can engage in adapted running activities. Grant funding is essential to acquire adaptive equipment, ensure trained staff and volunteers and cover program-related costs, allowing our organization to successfully pioneer a unique initiative that promotes physical fitness, self-confidence and a sense of achievement among children with disabilities in its inaugural year in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
Participants will meet once a week over an eight week season. We plan to offer four seasons in our pilot year (Spring, Fall, Summer and Winter). Supported by our amazing team of coaches, each athlete learns the fundamentals of track-and-field (including warm-ups, drills, sprints, relays) as well as how to be a supportive team player and community member. To evaluate the success of our program, coaches record and track data regarding each child\u2019s progress across eight physical benchmarks.<\/p>\n
The goal of our program is to give children with disabilities the opportunity to train, work out and race. To ensure each individual child\u2019s needs are properly supported, our curriculum consists of multiple pathways that allow for differentiation as needed. We also pair our athletes with volunteers who provide training assistance and positive encouragement.<\/p>\n
Our inclusive running program plays a transformative role in shaping the mindset of children with disabilities, instilling in them the belief that they can reach unlimited possibilities. When kids with disabilities participate in sports alongside their peers, barriers dissolve, and a sense of belonging emerges. <\/p>\n
