D3P Multi-Sport Program – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The D3P Multi-Sport Program is designed for individuals with autism. Participants of all ability levels are welcome, and no prior sports experience is required.

The program is open to children, youth, and young adults. Participants may be grouped by age and ability to ensure a positive and supportive experience.

Participants will be introduced to a variety of sports throughout the program. Sports rotate every two weeks, allowing athletes enough time to feel comfortable, build skills, and enjoy each activity before transitioning to the next sport.

The two-week rotation provides structure and consistency while still offering variety. This schedule helps participants:

• Build familiarity and confidence

• Reduce anxiety around frequent changes

• Explore multiple sports at a comfortable pace

Each session includes:

• Warm-up and movement activities

• Skill-building drills tailored to the sport

• Games or structured play

• Cool-down and positive reinforcement

Sessions are structured, predictable, and adapted to meet individual needs.
