Adelaide Basketball Club is thrilled to announce an exciting event for all basketball enthusiasts in the local community. In collaboration with Special Olympics Australia, we will be hosting a thrilling Basketball tournament that promises to showcase the immense talent of athletes from Special Olympics Clubs.
With a vision of promoting inclusivity and diversity in sports, this tournament will bring together players from all backgrounds. We are proud to be a part of this meaningful partnership between Special Olympics Australia and DanceSport Australia, which strives to create more inclusive programs in dance schools across the nation.
Judy Pegus, the Chairwoman of DanceSportWA, has expressed her enthusiasm for this partnership, emphasising the goal of making DanceSport truly diverse and inclusive. DanceSport WA already conducts successful all-abilities programs and competitions which have significantly increased community participation. As a result, the club has become eligible for state government funding, further enhancing its reach and impact.
This exciting collaboration means that Special Olympics athletes will now have the opportunity to compete at a national level, as the partnership integrates Special Olympics competitions into DanceSport national and state events. The addition of DanceSport to the Special Olympics Games will undoubtedly open up new avenues for athletes within the DanceSport community to showcase their remarkable talent.
Corene Strauss, the CEO of Special Olympics Australia, conveyed her excitement about this new sport offering, which will be integrated into the Games. This partnership not only demonstrates the commitment of Special Olympics Australia to expanding their sporting offerings but also paves the way for individuals in the DanceSport community to compete through the Special Olympics pathway.
We are delighted to witness the introduction of DanceSport programs in Australia as part of the global Special Olympics movement. To showcase this thrilling sport, a DanceSport demonstration event will feature at the upcoming Special Olympics National Games in 2022. Following this, DanceSport will officially become a sport in subsequent National Games and World Games, further cementing its place within the Special Olympics family.
Get ready to witness the exceptional skills and passion of basketball players from Special Olympics Clubs at our upcoming event. This unique tournament promises to be a celebration of inclusivity, diversity, and the power of sports to bring people together. So mark your calendars and join us for an unforgettable experience that transcends barriers and unites our community through the love of basketball.
