EVERYONE'S GAME CARNIVAL
The Everyone's Game carnivals, organized by Basketball WA, remained instrumental in promoting inclusivity within the basketball community. These carnivals, conducted in collaboration with partners like the DLGSC and Belt Up Australia, aimed at raising awareness about International Day of People with Disability. Three all-abilities basketball carnivals were successfully held in 2023, expanding their reach to include a Wheelchair Basketball Come & Try session and an Ivor Burge skills challenge to better link athletes with intellectual disabilities to their basketball pathways in a supportive environment.
