Baskin
by Gabriele
Baskin (abbreviation of integrated basket)
is a sport activity inspired to basketball
which allows disabled young people to
play together with non-disabled boys and
girls.
Baskin was born in Cremona thanks to
the passion and the cooperative spirit of a
group of parents and support teachers.
Baskin organizes its activity at a national
level through the National Central
Committee and has 1250 players in Italy.
Rules
The regulation of Baskin adapts:
Stuff:
Baskin involves the use of more hoops (2
normal and 2 lateral lower hoops);
possibility of replacement of the normal
ball with one of a different size and
weight.
Space:
Baskin involves the use of protected areas
meant to make shooting in lateral hoops
safe
Rules:
each player has a role defined according
to his motor skills and thus has a direct
opponent of the same level.
National and International Recognitions
On 12th December 2007 the Municipality
of Cremona nominated Cremona “Hometown of Baskin”
We thinks that Baskin is a really good
sport that can afford relationship with
other people. By the way it isn’t current
in the rest of the world,but we hope will
be diffuse.
