Welcome to the Hub. Your way into sports and recreation.
About the Wheelchair Community Sports SA Hub
The Hub is part of Estara's Wheelchair Community Sports SA program, made possible by a generous bequest from the late Roger Munchenberg. Roger wanted to create more opportunities for people with spinal cord injury, neurological and related disability, to get into sport and stay active. His gift became the foundation for the Wheelchair Community Sports SA program, and this Hub is where that vision comes to life.
The Hub helps remove the barriers that can get in the way of playing sport. It's your one-stop place to find clubs, come-and-try events, equipment hire, scholarships, and advice on where to start. It's here to help you get into sport, and stay in it.
In honour of Roger Munchenberg
