Education
By training coaches, teachers, and community leaders, we’re redefining disability for those who teach sport and recreation
The Education Hub
The Move United Education HUB delivers the latest online adaptive sport training – empowering sport professionals to perform their best, increase expertise, and deepen their commitment and quality of service to people with disabilities. The HUB also educates sport providers with limited or no adaptive experience – increasing opportunities for people with disabilities to participate beyond our network.

Move United Education not only provides advice on how to interact with people with disabilities (hint: just ask!), we produce the resources for you to better understand the disability experience both on and off the field. We make it easy to participate in adaptive sports and engage with people with disabilities.
