Disability Recreation & Sports SA (DRSSA) is the home of sports in South Australia for those living with physical disabilities. We strive to support people living with a disability and their families to lead active, healthy and social lives through participation in recreation, fitness and sport. DRSSA helps connect its members with opportunities, assisting individuals to locate recreational activities most suited to them.
As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely heavily on donations and are occasionally the recipient of grants and state government support. Members of our organisation are the beneficiaries of these funds, which are used to develop local programs, purchase sporting equipment and uniforms, hire sporting venues, upskill volunteers, and subsidise travel expenses for teams and individuals who compete interstate or internationally.
Disability Recreation & Sports SA’s mission is to ensure that those with a physical disability are provided with maximum opportunity to participate in sporting and recreational pursuits. This involvement aims to ensure development of the individual member’s full potential within a modern and relevant organisational framework that renders quality support and resources.
Disability Recreation & Sports SA will be the best sports and recreation organisation for athletes with a physical disability in South Australia and will focus our endeavours on achieving world’s best practice in all areas of sporting, recreational, organisational and fundraising activity.
I am thankful for membership and insurance support from DRSSA. This has allowed me to access Immersion Therapy with Determined2 in Port Lincoln. This therapy has been very supportive to my physical health and my mental illness recovery.
