Learn to Sledge
Sledge – Inclusive Family Fun for EveryoneAbout Sledge HockeyThe Easter Seals Nova Scotia’s Take PART (Physically Accessible Recreation Today) Sledge Hockey Activity provides an opportunity for physical literacy development in children with a physical disability. Sledge participants learn to use their bodies to push themselves on their sleds using their upper body strength, how to get back up after falling on their side in the sledge, how to manoeuvre around pylons and other skills related to sledge to achieve success. This results in improved knowledge of their body, body movements and their ability to perform the basic and more advanced movements of physical activity skills. Easter Seals’ Take PART Hockey Activity contributes to the wellness in our community by strengthening and supporting Healthy Child Development by providing and encouraging participation in fun activities that build strength, dexterity and problem-solving abilities by developing positive self-esteem and self-reliance by ensuring successful completion of activities for the children participating in the adapted physical activity. This exercise improves the child’s social, mental, emotional, and overall health and results in reduced risk of obesity.
