For many years the Province of Varese has been committed to promoting sport at every level, and in particular organises various activities for disabled youngsters. Generally physical activities play an incredibly important role in the current social context because they represent a healthy alternative for very young people who often live rather sedentary lives, especially when conditioned by electronic games or the television.

Even more so, physical activities represent an alternative to being on their own for disabled youngsters and it is an opportunity for them to express unimaginable potential. Sports education is therefore vital for the very young, directed at developing and learning new skills across different sporting disciplines, widening the opportunities for participation for young people in sport as much as possible. This should start within the school environment but be further developed through the creation of proper sporting channels to provide consistent opportunities, even for the less gifted.
