To investigate the current landscape of inclusive school and extracurricular sport for disabled young people in the UK through stakeholder perspectives.
Conducted a qualitative, interpretivist study using individual interviews and focus groups with 11 adult school and community sport stakeholders in the UK (N=11).
Applied reflexive thematic analysis framed by Pierre Bourdieu's theoretical concepts of habitus, capital, and field.
Inclusive sport participation primarily depends on isolated individual champions rather than institutionalized, systemic support.
Structural deficits, including insufficient funding, limited educator preparation, low cultural valuation of inclusive athletics, and conflicting responsibilities, severely undermine existing programs.
