EKS Award

Ballarat Basketball Club is thrilled to announce the upcoming local Basketball event for Special Olympics Clubs – Ballarat. It's a fantastic opportunity for passionate players to showcase their skills and compete in a friendly and inclusive environment.

One of the highlights of this event is the prestigious EKS Award, which recognises exceptional leadership qualities displayed by athletes, both on and off the sporting field. Named after Special Olympics founder, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, this award holds immense significance and represents the spirit of the Special Olympics movement.

It's remarkable to see how athletes have made a lasting impact through their leadership. The Honour Roll is a testament to the dedication and hard work of past winners. From Allister Peek in 2018 to Christopher Farmer in 2007, each recipient has left a remarkable legacy within the Special Olympics Australia community.

Now is the time to recognise those who continue to inspire, motivate, and lead. If you know of an athlete who has gone above and beyond, showing exceptional leadership skills, don't miss your chance to make a difference by nominating them for the EKS Award.

By nominating an athlete, you are acknowledging their efforts and showing them that their hard work does not go unnoticed. It's a wonderful opportunity to celebrate their achievements and encourage them to continue making a positive impact both on and off the court.

Join us at Ballarat Basketball Club and be a part of this incredible event. Together, let's honour the exceptional athletes who embody the values of leadership, determination, and sportsmanship that the EKS Award represents.

Mark your calendars and spread the word – this is a basketball event you don't want to miss!
