In 2014, Switzerland ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities that demands the possibility to participate both in main- stream and in disability-specific sports activities. However, only 18% of Swiss mainstream sports clubs provide services for people with disabilities. Thus, disabil- ity sport in Switzerland is still mainly separated from non-disabled sport and there are even different disability sports federations for different disability forms. Regarding policies, the Federal Sports Promotion Act (2011) names sport as an important social domain where integration takes place without explicitly mention- ing people with disabilities. Furthermore, in the Federal Disability Equality Act (2002), there are no concrete statements on equality in sport. However, the Federal Concept for Sports for All (2015) mentions that there should be enough low- threshold and target-group specific sports offers for people with disabilities, as all people should have the opportunity to exercise regularly throughout their lives. In this chapter, we describe the roles of the organisations in Swiss disability sport and we present quantitative data from the project Social Inclusion and Volunteering in Sports Clubs in Europe (n = 31 mainstream sports clubs in Switzerland; N = 959 members, thereof 53 with disabilities). Furthermore, we include qualitative data from eight separate training groups only for people with disabilities and eight inte- grative/inclusive training groups where people with and without disabilities practise together.
