Baseball Queensland Hits a Homerun for Disability Inclusion with Sport4All Partnership
Sport4All is proud to announce a new partnership with Baseball Queensland, a leading organisation dedicated to growing and developing baseball throughout the state. This collaboration aims to champion disability inclusion in baseball, making the sport more accessible for people of all abilities.
Baseball Queensland, with its 8 associations and over 30 clubs across the state, is committed to evolving, engaging, and connecting within the sport. This partnership with Sport4All aligns perfectly with their goals, as both organisations are dedicated to creating a future where everyone can enjoy the benefits of sport, regardless of their abilities.
“At Baseball Queensland, we believe in the transformative power of sport to unite communities and foster inclusivity,” said Gareth Jones, CEO of Baseball Queensland. “Our partnership with Sport4All represents a pivotal step towards creating a more inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of ability, can experience the joy and camaraderie of baseball. Together, we are committed to breaking down barriers and ensuring that our clubs are welcoming and accessible to all. This collaboration underscores our dedication to promoting diversity and inclusion, enriching the lives of individuals and strengthening the fabric of our community.”
Sam Cawdron, Game Development Manager at Baseball Queensland, added, “I’m thrilled about our partnership with Sport4All and the opportunities they provide. Inclusivity in baseball extends far beyond just getting more people to play the game. It’s about creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels they belong, whether they’re playing, helping in the canteen, keeping score, managing teams, umpiring, or providing off-field support. By collaborating with Sport4All, we’re helping ensure that our clubs are inclusive on and off the field, providing multiple opportunities to help create a community and foster inclusivity to all.“
Sport4All, a national award-winning program, is dedicated to promoting diversity and creating opportunities for people with disability in all aspects of sport. Through education, training, and resources, Sport4All empowers sporting organisations to create welcoming and inclusive environments for everyone.
“We are very excited at Sport4All to partner with Baseball Queensland to support a great sport, with their vision to build their confidence and capability with disability inclusion,” said Kim Abbott, Sport4All State Sport Inclusion Coach for Queensland. “The Sport4All program provides education, training, and resources that are available to the Baseball Queensland community to provide guidance and support, as well as empower associations, clubs, and members about the value of including people with a disability through all levels of baseball.”
This partnership is a significant step forward in making baseball a sport for all in Queensland. By working together, Sport4All and Baseball Queensland are committed to breaking down barriers and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate in and enjoy the sport of baseball.
