Coverdrive - Disability Program for Public High Schools
The Bradman Foundation raises funds to pay qualified coaches to work with public high schools in the Southern Highlands to get kids active and awaken in them a love of sport. ‘Coverdrive’ is a one hour program of specially tailored physical activities which are held weekly throughout the school year. These activities provide the students with their only opportunity to express themselves physically amongst their peers and in a non-threatening environment. In addition to overcoming physical challenges, they learn enhanced social skills, teamwork, leadership, competitiveness and confidence. Best of all ‘Coverdrive’ is FUN which sees the students keenly anticipate their weekly slot on Bradman Oval. Read our story.
