Basketball NSW is today pleased to announce the partnership with leading Assistive Technology Equipment Supplier GTK as the BNSW Official Wheelchair & Education Partner and as the major sponsor of the 2023 Wheelchair Waratah League powered by Spalding.

GTK are located in NSW, Victoria and Queensland and encourage their clients to be as active as they want to be. GTK pride themselves on working closely with each client to tailor personalised equipment and mobility solutions to support a life of independence and inclusivity.  

The partnership provides a major boost to wheelchair basketball state-wide, providing some stability in funding of the league as well as support the construction of a framework for development and high performance for athletes in NSW.

Basketball NSW, CEO, Maria Nordstrom said she was delighted to welcome GTK to the basketball family and is excited to see the partnership take place. 

“On behalf of the Basketball NSW team, I welcome GTK’s support on our wheelchair basketball leagues and pathways, and commend them on their track record in empowering people with a disability and their support of adaptive sports like Wheelchair Basketball,” said Nordstrom.

“GTK’s commitment to contribute to our sport will certainly generate greater stability of the wheelchair league, establish more robust athlete pathways and allow wheelchair basketball to be more visible and thus reach a larger audience in our state.”

“The impact that this sponsorship will have on wheelchair basketball is significant and we can’t wait to work together as a true partnership over the next three years.”

In addition to the naming rights of the Wheelchair League, GTK will also work closely in the education space for Basketball NSW training hubs and State Performance Programs. GTK will also provide additional support to our members by delivering education and learning sessions online and in conjunction with the central venue rounds in the league.

GTK, CEO, George Ajaka added “Sport if often a very important part of an individuals identity. We are very proud to partner with Maria and her team at Basketball NSW to provide a strong competition, but most importantly new opportunities for players to expand their connections and sense of self.” 

“GTK and BNSW share similar values and we are excited to connect with the basketball community and build resources and pathways to all involved in the game.”

Basketball NSW will announce at a later date the 2023 Wheelchair Waratah League powered by Spalding fixture and team lists.
