Rolling Success School Program - Ontario Cerebral Palsy Sports Association

Rolling Success is OCPSA’s school-based program that introduces and promotes inclusive sport and encourages youth of all ages and abilities to be physically active.

Rolling Success encourages inclusive sport by integrating boccia and frame running into existing physical education classrooms and schoolyards, so every student can participate. By doing so, we provide opportunities for students with all abilities to learn from and alongside their peers with or without disabilities.

This program aligns with the 2019 Ontario Health and Physical Education Curriculum, including Daily Physical Activity (DPA) options and lessons on inclusivity and diversity.
