The Australian Paralympic Committee is currently searching for people with a disability who display the athletic ability to be potential Paralympians.
As part of the search, a series of talent search days are being held around Australia, and is open to amputees, limb deficiencies, people with cerebral palsy, people in wheelchairs and the blind and vision impaired.
Coaches from various Paralympic sports will be on hand to help identify talent, and participants will undergo a series of tests and measurements.
Those identified as showing potential in their sport will be given advice about how to further pursue their sporting goals.
The Paralympic Talent Search is coming to Melbourne for times during 2007, the first occasion being in May.
When: Sunday 20 May.
Where: Broadmeadows Leisure Centre.
There will be further dates in June (south east Melbourne), October (northern Melbourne) and December (western Melbourne), and the Talent Search will also be visiting Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Perth and some regional venues.
