Disability Opportunities in Sport UK

09/11/2025

Yesterday we had 8 people attend our very own Introduction to Basketball Coaching course. The course had a mixture of our coaches, volunteers, and members.

We have been working with Basketball England recently to look at making these courses more accessible for people with a learning disability and autistic people and we hope yesterday will be just one of many we run in the next few seasons, promoting coaching opportunities in basketball to all!

Big shout out to coach Emma who was tutoring the session and of course BE and Sport Structures for making this happen. Always more to work on but a great start 👊🏀
