Clubs Tasmania
This edition I would also like to provide a special mention and congratulations to the Dominoes Basketball Club, who were named the Tasmanian Good Sports Club of the year for 2023! Dominoes Basketball Club were crowned the State’s Good Sports Club of the Year for going above and beyond to improve the health and wellbeing of their members, inspiring positive change and building a healthier, and inclusive club environment. The triumph is not the first for the club, having won the 2020 Good Sports Tasmanian Club of the Year award and placing as runners-up for it last year. President, Daniel Ogg, said Good Sports had helped the club to promote healthy behaviours, leading to changed attitudes towards alcohol and other drug consumption. Dominoes Basketball Club has reached the highest level of the Good Sports program, having implemented policies that cover alcohol and tobacco management, illegal drugs, mental health, and safe transport. “We believe that educating families on what a healthy lifestyle looks like has a far-reaching impact beyond the basketball court, helping reduce the likelihood
of young people engaging in unhealthy behaviours including risky alcohol consumption, smoking and vaping, and other drug use,” Daniel said. “Dominoes prides itself on being a family oriented club and our older age group leaders are role models to our younger participants, demonstrating that looking after your body, mind and soul is an enormous factor in being the best you can be. “Dominoes is more than just a place to play basketball – it’s a place that creates a sense of belonging, promotes positive behaviours, and is welcoming of all.”
