Why does the Adaptive Sports Program (ASP) need a down selection process?
For events that applicants of the ASP compete in, team size limits are controlled by organising committees, and can vary. As the number of applicants for each ASP round consistently exceeds the available team places, a selection process is required and aims to identify the applicants who will benefit most from the opportunity as part of their recovery and rehabilitation. Read more about this process here.
While not all applicants will make the selected teams of the ASP we encourage all defence community members to discover how sport can play a role in proactively supporting their health and wellbeing. Invictus Australia’s Community Sporting opportunities offer connection with sport in local communities across Australia all year round. To find out more about how you can get back into sport or continue your sporting journey, you can connect with the Facebook group in your local area here.
