SUPPORTING THOSE WITH NEURODIVERGENCES & DISABILITIES
INCLUSIVE PROGRAMS…
ACCESSIBLE FOR EVERYONE
At Baseball SA, we believe the game should be for everyone. That’s why many of our clubs run their own Inclusive Programs, designed to give people living with disabilities and neurodivergence the opportunity to enjoy baseball in a supportive, welcoming environment.
These programs are made possible through government funding, grants and club-led initiatives, ensuring that participants have access to adapted equipment, experienced volunteers and a fun safe space to play. Whether it’s modified games, skill-building sessions, or just the joy of being part of a team, our clubs are committed to making baseball more accessible for all.
