In July,\u00a0DSV and Sport Inclusion Australia teamed up to\u00a0launch\u00a0Get Active, More Often \u2013\u00a0a program introducing\u00a0Club21 participants to\u00a0a different sport, activity and sporting pathway every second month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up was HoopNow<\/a>, a program designed to work on developing a person\u2019s basketball skills, social skills and allowing them to thrive… and that they did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
