Disability inclusion in sport for all: Baskin as a best practice model

Florian Kiuppis

Chapter 21 in Research Handbook on Sports and Society, 2021, pp 291-306 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In 2003, a sport called ‘Baskin’ was invented in Cremona, Italy, that was designed - and since then, multiple times revised - to be a sport with everyone in mind and having specific adaptations to space, tasks, equipment and even how people teach the game. ‘Baskin’ is both inclusive and competitive and thus, an optimal context for conducting research on what the German Cultural Sociologist, Stefan Hirschauer, calls ‘the creation, overlap, and invalidation of cultural distinctions’, that in the case of this sport are drawn between members of teams. The aim of this chapter is to provide a discussion on disability in sport and society; to introduce ‘Baskin’ as a best practice model of a disability-inclusive sport for all; and to outline my personal perspectives and provide context on these topics by way of my own recent research journey.
