Disability Walking Basketball

Next date: Thursday, 03 December 2026 | 12:00 PM to 02:00 PM

Join Diamond Valley Basketball Association as we celebrate International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) with a FREE Disability Walking Basketball Come & Try Day!

Come along, give basketball a go and enjoy a fun, welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone can participate at their own pace.

Inspired by Basketball Victoria's Walking Basketball program, Disability Walking Basketball is a Diamond Valley Basketball led program, specifically designed for people with disability. The program focuses on participation, enjoyment, connection and staying active in a supportive environment. No previous basketball experience is needed, and all skill levels are welcome!

Disability Walking Basketball offers a slower-paced, modified version of the game, allowing participants to enjoy basketball without the pressure of running or keeping up with a traditional game. It's a great opportunity to build confidence, develop skills, enjoy gentle physical activity and connect with others.

Participants who use walking aids or require assistance with a manual wheelchair are warmly encouraged to attend. Carers, family members and support people are also welcome to join participants on the court, providing assistance and sharing in the experience.

Our aim is to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable, supported and included, regardless of their ability or previous sporting experience.

Following the basketball session, we invite everyone to stay and enjoy complimentary light refreshments. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, build friendships and connect with others in your local community while celebrating International Day of People with Disability.

At Diamond Valley Basketball, we believe sport is about much more than competition. It's about belonging, building confidence, making connections and ensuring everyone has the opportunity to experience the enjoyment and benefits of being active.

International Day of People with Disability is an opportunity to celebrate the contributions, achievements and experiences of people with disability, while continuing to promote inclusion and equal opportunities within our community.

Whether you're picking up a basketball for the first time, returning to a sport you love or simply looking for a fun way to stay active and meet new people, we'd love to welcome you!

Come for the basketball, stay for the connections and help us celebrate a community where everyone has the opportunity to participate and belong.
