The CWBA is committed to providing opportunities for athletes with a disability to participate in a fully integrated sport program at the level they choose. Opportunities are available at the initiation, developmental, competitive, and elite levels, and programs are offered for youth, women, men. The CWBA believes that inclusion is fundamental to achieving equity and access in sport and therefore promotes the "sport for all" concept, encouraging able-bodied athletes and athletes with a disability to compete together on the same basketball court, within a classification system which allows for fair and equitable competition for all participants.

Many athletes come into the game after they have had a spinal cord injury, which necessitates the use of a sport development model that is more skill level focussed than age categories. The CWBA programs have been designed to be inclusive, allowing individuals with a spinal cord injury or some other physical disability the opportunity to continue to be involved in sporting activities with their peers and\or their able bodied family and friends.

Julie is fifteen years old. Ever since she can remember, she has loved figure skating. She started training with a personal trainer when she was twelve, and since then she has won several national youth competitions and even one international competition. Her dream is to compete for Britain in the Olympic Games one day, and her trainer says that she has what it takes to make the Olympic team, if she commits herself to a rigorous training program.

The only problem is that Julie already spends most of her free time training and feels that she does not have much time left for other activities. Her Boyfriend Jason, is very understanding and never tells her openly that he wishes she would spend more time with him rather than on the ice, but she knows he is a bit unhappy about how little they see each other.

She has also got out of touch with all of her old friends. They are much more into going out to dance and movies and all of those other “normal teenager” things. Julie has already been wondering if she shouldn’t try to be more of a „normal teenager“, and if she decides to try out for the Olympic team, she will have even less time for Jason and her friends.

George Best has been honoured with the 2002 Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year show.

The former Manchester United and Northern Ireland star, whose life has been plagued by alcohol addiction, shrugged off ill health to accept the trophy.

Best was arguably the first British footballing superstar during his time at Old Trafford, and was honoured in recognition of his footballing achievements.

Billed as the "fifth Beatle", he was named Footballer of the Year and European Player of the Year in 1968 during a distinguished playing career.

He earned 37 international caps for Northern Ireland and at club level picked up two championship medals with United as well as inspiring them to a 4-1 win over Benfica in the 1968 European Cup final.

Best said: "It's lovely to be recognised in this manner so long after having finished my football career.

"I feel I achieved everything I dreamed of as a child. I also feel I played in the best team in Europe if not the world with some very special players."

The former United striker singled out former manager Sir Matt Busby for helping shape his career.

He also paid tribute to his father Dickie.

Former England international Gary Lineker, who co-hosted the awards ceremony, was quick to praise Best.

Lineker said: "George Best is one of the greatest footballers of all time, who brought pleasure to millions over the years. I am delighted that he has won this award."

The Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon have developed from the garden party atmosphere of the first meeting in 1877, witnessed by a few hundred spectators, to a highly professional tournament attracting an attendance of over 500,000 people and through the press, radio, Internet and television a following of millions throughout the world.

The Tournament starts each year six weeks before the first Monday in August and lasts for a fortnight or for as long as necessary to complete all events. Players from over 60 nations regularly compete.

Over 6,000 people attend The Championships in a working capacity. These include a temporary staff of several hundred who are directly employed by The All England Lawn Tennis Club and others who are provided by firms, contractors, voluntary bodies and public services as well as representatives of the media. In short, during the Fortnight at the end of June and the beginning of July, the Club plays host to the leading annual sporting event in the world.

A good cheerleader must have a wide repertoire of skills, which should include precision movements, gymnastics and tumbling, lifting and pyramids, and dancing ability. Most competitive teams have cheerleaders who specialize in one or another of these skills, so if you have one that is your favourite, you may be able to become a specialist in it.

Nowadays, many cheerleaders are excellent dancers, but the classic cheerleader spends a good deal of time performing precision movements. These involve strict timing and sharp, defined motions. There are only a few basic arm movements: daggers, vertical-up, high v, horizontal, low v, vertical-down, hands on hips, punch, and diagonal. Also be aware of your presentation, which should always involve your smiling, keeping your head up, keeping the motions sharp and snappy, and refraining from staring at one point.

No matter what element of cheerleading you choose to specialize in, you and your squad will benefit a great deal if you take the time to experiment with all your possibilities. If you have a background in gymnastics, you should have a friend teach you some dance moves. Similarly, if you've never participated in any strength moves, you may discover that you have a great skill with partner movements and building pyramids. So explore all your options, and become the best cheerleader you can be.

The Paralympic Games have always been held in the same year as the Olympic Games. Since the 1988 Seoul Summer Games and the 1992 Albertville Winter Games, they have also taken place at the same venues as the Olympic Games. On 19 June 2001, an agreement was signed between the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee aiming to secure the organisation of the Paralympic Games. The agreement reaffirmed that the Paralympic Games, from 2008 on, will always take place shortly after the Olympic Games, using the same sporting venues and facilities.

Since the Salt Lake 2002 Games, one organising committee is responsible for hosting both the Olympic and the Paralympic Games. Athletes from both Games live in the same Village and enjoy the same catering services, medical care and facilities. Ticketing, technology and transport systems for the Olympic Games are seamlessly extended to the Paralympics.
