Basketball
Our program
is a success because of the dedication of the PARENTS,
VOLUNTEERS, SUPPORTERS and of course, our WONDERFUL COACHES!
Who
plays Special
Needs Basketball: ANY child five years
old and up or adult that has a disability in Gwinnett County. We have
players that are mentally, physically, visually, and hearing impaired.
While we have players are not physically impaired, others may use
wheelchairs or a walker. It is very exciting to watch even the most
"inexperienced" and "apprehensive" players as they improve their
skills, make new friends and learn to play as a team. No experience or
basketball abilities are needed. The ONLY requirement is the desire to
have FUN!!
How
the game is
played: Depending on the number of
participants, teams are formed according to players age, height,
ability to follow directions for modified rules, competitiveness and
desire to have FUN! Other teams are formed for players whose soul
purpose for joining the team is to socialize, be a team player and have
FUN!
Where and When the games are
played:
Games are played Saturday mornings at Grayson First Baptist
Church on Hwy 20 in Grayson. (Map from ) The games last
one-hour.
