A group of our TY students attended the Basketball4All event in U.C.C. recently.

The event is in collaboration with the B.Ed. Physical Education, Sports Studies and Arts programme in University College Cork and Irish Wheelchair Association Sport, UCC Sport and the Mardyke Arena.

The aim of the event is to allow all students the opportunity to experience adapted physical activity in a fun, supportive and inclusive environment through wheelchair basketball. 

It took a little while for our students to learn how to use and manoeuvre the wheelchairs but before long they were enjoying the games and played really well.

Well done to all of the schools that took part and to the organisers. The event was also used as a fundraiser for the Irish Wheelchair Association.
