WBA Diversity

Wyndham Basketball Association provides a basketball program for players with intellectual, sensory, physical or social disabilities and including people who use wheelchairs. All Abilities = All Disabilities We believe everyone in Wyndham should have the chance to play basketball easily, no matter their abilities or disability. By offering these programs at Wyndham Basketball Association, we are helping more people join and enjoy basketball in a welcoming and inclusive way.

Wyndham Basketball Association aims to make things better by providing good services, teaching people about inclusion, and making more people aware of and support programs that include everyone. They want more people to join in and play basketball all over the state. This helps make the basketball community stronger. Basketball at Wyndham is a sport for everyone.

Wyndham Basketball Association strives to create better chances and paths for Wyndham participants who are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. This will provide more opportunities for Indigenous basketball players, coaches, and administrators at Wyndham Basketball Association.

Everyone in the LGBTIQ+ community in Victoria should be able to play basketball in a safe and welcoming place. They should feel valued and heard. Wyndham Basketball Association has promised to welcome all players, workers, and volunteers, no matter their sexuality or gender identity.

Wyndham has more than 28% of residents who come from different cultural and language backgrounds. Wyndham Basketball Association strives to meet the diverse needs of these communities to create more opportunities for Wyndham’s participants from various countries, religions, and languages.

Older people in Victoria are staying active and involved in basketball through activities like Walking Basketball and other adaptive forms of the game. For players coming back or new to basketball, modified games for Older Adults offer all the benefits of community, activity, and social fun with a lower risk of injury for those with limited mobility.

Wyndham Basketball Association follows Basketball Victoria guidelines for including transgender and gender diverse people in basketball in Victoria. These guidelines help transgender athletes take part while keeping things fair, inclusive, and safe.

The LGBTIQ+ community includes people who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, and Queer/Questioning. They make up about 11% of Australia’s population. However, many LGBTIQ+ people don’t take part in sports or physical activities. This is often because they’ve had bad experiences, like discrimination or harassment. When sports aren’t inclusive, LGBTIQ+ people miss out on the benefits of being active. These benefits include better physical and mental health, and social connections. Sports can offer more memberships and improve people’s lives.

Wyndham Basketball Association is dedicated to growing the participation of women and girls across all aspects of basketball, from playing to coaching, officiating to volunteering, and everything in between.
