Sydney Swans young guns Oliver Florent and Lewis Melican were on hand last week as AFL NSW/ACT launched a partnership with Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA).
CPA is a not-for-profit organisation that provides services to thousands of people with a disability and their families.
AFL NSW/ACT’s partnership with CPA has developed from the growth of the AFL’s Kickability program and will enable both AFL NSW/ACT and CPA to share knowledge and resources to enable all children to participate in sport.
Florent said it was a privilege to attend the partnership launch.
“Lewis and I were lucky enough to tour the facility at CPA and gain a better insight into what cerebral palsy is and the impact it has on people,” Florent said.
“It was great to have a kick with the kids, teach them a thing or two about footy and put a smile on their faces.”
