Basketball Ireland has signed up to the CARA Sports Inclusion Disability Charter.

Openness
Be open to and understanding of all people with disabilities.
People
Access training for BI staff/volunteers to facilitate the inclusion of people with disabilities.
Activities

Review our facility/venues/equipment to make the organisation more accessible.

BI encourages all clubs throughout the country to commit to the CARA charter and work on addressing the five areas of the charter within their own clubs to make basketball a more inclusive sport for all.
