In 1982, Macarthur Disability Services (MDS) envisioned a world where people with a disability or mental illness participated fully in society and were valued and empowered to realise their potential. 42 years on, MDS are still living and breathing that vision in everything we do. Your support plays an integral role in enabling MDS to deliver the education, programs, campaigns, outreach and support needed to those with a variety of disabilities and mental illness across South Western Sydney and the Southern Highlands.
MDS Jamm & Slamm is an opportunity for you and your colleagues to experience Wheelchair Basketball in a friendly and fun competition against other businesses. This team building and networking day will raise funds for MDS to purchase equipment that gives people with a variety of disabilities and mental health the freedom to learn simple life skills in a safe environment and support transition into community employment. It’s your company’s chance to contribute and together, help make a difference in the lives of many!
Corporate Teams are divided into pools and each team will play against another team in that pool. A minimum of 5 players on court at a time, each game is 12-minutes in length with a 3-minute break between games. At the end of the round robin games, the top team in each pool proceeds to a quarter final, semi- final and grand final in the hope of winning the converted MDS Jamm & Slamm Trophy.
No Wheelchair Basketball experience is necessary, the referees will give an overview of rules and how to play at the beginning of each game.
