In 1985 the Power House Basketball Club was asked to run a basketball clinic in Nunawading for the local disability service providers. About fifteen players were expected - one hundred and fifty turned up wanting to learn to play basketball!! It is an understatement to say we had found a need for sporting activities for people with intellectual disabilities!
We soon discovered that there were no organised sporting activities being made available to this part of our community in Melbourne.
We've been running the Victorian Championship Basketball Competition for Players with an Intellectual Disability ever since.
We'll add more to our colourful history as time permits - stay tuned!
