Basketball WA, with the assistance of Inclusion WA and Volunteering WA, were proud to present the first Everyone’s Game Carnival on Sunday 23 March.

The first of four Basketball Carnivals which caters for athletes with physical and intellectual disabilities are played with modified rules, ensuring an emphasis on fun rather than competition.

Broken into an A and B division the games run for 15 minutes with one referee officiating.

The day is finished off with an All Star team selected to play against the coaches, along with individual medal winners from each division who competed throughout the day.
