What DBA means to me
Deaf Basketball Australia has had a positive impact on many athletes and staff who have been involved with the organisation. Whether it is improving their basketball skills, learning to be a great team player, learning Auslan, developing knowledge and tools for life away from the court, or making life-long friends, DBA continues to take pride in inspiring the next generation of athletes to succeed on and off the court.
This video shows Australian Goannas captain, Jordan Woolmer, reflecting on what the Deaf Basketball Australia program means to him.
