On the 4th June, 2016, the President of the Italian Senate Pietro Grasso, together with the mayor of Avola, Mr. Luca Cannata , and the national president of Uisp inaugurated the Baskin Court inside the Majorana School. Mr Grasso focused on the importance of legality explained by Article 3 of the Constitution : ("All citizens have equal dignity ...") and the removal of obstacles that create social difference.

This sport is for all, asserted Mr. Vincenzo Manco, national president of Uisp: “Baskin is a discipline that ensures equal skills, seeing together in the field disabled and able-bodied”.

GABRIELE ANTONUCCIO, KNIGHT OF THE ITALIAN REPUBLIC 

A 14 years old student from Avola, Gabriele Antonuccio, has been appointed Knight of the Republic by the Italian President Sergio Mattarella for having promoted and spread in his school integrated Baskin (integrated basketball), a sport in which ablebodied and disabled play together, and for his being actively involved in the world of volunteering with the Onlus association “I Super Abili”. His passion for basketball and for the Baskin approached him to the world of volunteering, and in particular the disability.

Gabriele pointed out how this honor recognition is not only for himself but also for all those kids and those young people like him engaged in social work.

To me the love for basketball and for Baskin mean great love for others and for volunteering.

DISTRICT VOLUNTEERING NET «ACCOR…RETE 

On 2009, in Avola (SR), 5 voluntary associations decided to work together to share experiences, and making diversity a common force tool. They have created the project "AccorRete...Avanti il Prossimo“. All this has been possible thanks to the contribution of CSVE (Center for Voluntary Service Etneo) which will finance the majority of the network's activities. The Associations A.F.I. (Italian Association of Families of Avola section), The Compagnia dell'Allegria, Acquanuvena, Uisp Solidarity and Super Abili will compete in a series of activities aimed at raising more and more volunteering and active citizenship through the respect for nature, sports, diversity, youth and families. A blog has been created to follow all the events, find videos and photos, find summaries of the meetings, to intervene with ideas and comments.
