In this edition we cover:

aaaplayers, webinars and a podcast shout out! Read more below.

Spotlight on aaaplayers

The aaaplay team was lucky enough to meet Paralympian, Leanne Del Toso at a recent wheelchair basketball event. We were inspired to hear about the PlayOn program that has been created by Leanne, and fellow Paralympian, Shelley Matheson.

The program is for people identifying as women who would like an opportunity to participate, learn and develop their skills in wheelchair basketball. You do not need to have a disability or be in a wheelchair to participate. You will be welcomed into a safe, supportive and inclusive environment. 

To read more about the PlayOn program, visit their Instagram page or their ABC news article.

Ben's Sports Talk Podcast

aaaplay team member Laura, had the exciting opportunity to be a guest on Ben's Sports Talk podcast.  Along with producer Daz, Ben Van Raay talks all things sport, with a focus on topics that don't usually feature on main sports talk shows.

In episode 140, Laura chats to Ben about Reclink, aaaplay and how these services help people engage in sport and active recreation.
