Robur Basket Saronno will host an inclusive basketball event at Palaronchi on Wednesday, November 18, featuring a special demonstration of wheelchair basketball led by the Italian club Briantea84.
Inclusive basketball session at Palaronchi
The event, titled “Be Inspired – Il basket oltre ogni barriera,” runs from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. local time. The program is designed to bridge the gap between traditional youth basketball and the Paralympic discipline, offering young members of the Robur minibasket program a chance to engage with the sport from a new perspective.
According to reports from Il Saronno, the session features a high-level athlete from the Cantù-based Briantea84 roster. This guest will share personal experiences regarding the challenges and triumphs of competing in wheelchair basketball, focusing on the passion required to excel in the sport.
Hands-on experience for youth athletes
Following the presentation, the event transitions into a practical segment reserved for children in the Robur minibasket sector. Participants will use specialized mini-wheelchairs to practice movement, balance, and spatial awareness on the court.
The initiative is open to the entire Robur community, including youth players, families, coaches, and supporters. While the talk is accessible to all, the practical wheelchair exercises are strictly limited to the younger participants to ensure a controlled and effective learning environment.
Briantea84 match at PalaMeda
The educational project continues on Saturday, November 21, at 8:30 p.m. The Robur community has been offered a special promotion to attend the Unipol Briantea84 Cantù match against Special Bergamo Sport Montello at the PalaMeda arena.
These two events aim to promote greater awareness of Paralympic sports and encourage local youth to view basketball as a tool for personal growth and social inclusion. The collaboration provides Saronno’s young athletes with direct exposure to one of Italy’s most prominent wheelchair basketball organizations.
