Unicaja has renewed for another year its collaboration with the Valladolid Wheelchair Basketball Club (BSR Valladolid), an entity founded in 1994 and which has been playing for 30 years in the national Division of Honor in this sport discipline. Its track record includes the title of League Champion in the 2010-2011 season and, previously, the title of Champion of the Willi Brinkmann European Cup in 2010. In the season that has just ended, it won first place in the EuroCup2 qualifiers, held in the Italian town of Pimbiono Dese, and third place in the final phase of the EuroCup2, held in Murcia in April.

 

The collaboration agreement was signed by Unicaja's Head of Stakeholder Relations, María José Rivera, and the President of the Valladolid Wheelchair Basketball Club, José Antonio de Castro Blanco.

 

Unicaja's support to BSR Valladolid is part of the bank's interest in promoting and supporting in its areas of operation in general and especially in Valladolid those activities that promote sports as a way to facilitate the full inclusion of people with disabilities.

 

The club (http://www.bsrvalladolid.com/), which has 346 members, aims to provide people with physical disabilities in Valladolid and the Community of Castilla y León with the necessary means to develop a sporting activity; specifically, through wheelchair basketball.

 

To promote the practice of this discipline, in addition to the team that plays in the highest category, BSR Valladolid also has since 2015 a Wheelchair Basketball School, aimed at children, youth and adults from 11 years and older, with and without physical disabilities.

 

This school, which currently has 12 players, offers the possibility of practicing sports to those who have difficulties to do so in their daily lives, in their free time or in their extracurricular activities, in the case of the youngest. For this purpose, it has a monitor and a mechanic and is under the direct supervision of the technical management of the club.
