Short Desciption

This project bring together 6 Special Schools from EU all with a slightly different area of focus and expertise but all school are aware of the social isolation of their pupils. Our project aims to tackle this issue and enable our pupils to play a more productive and involved role in our European society. Our efforts aim to ensure we raise skill levels of these vulnerable students and have a direct and life long impact on the connectivity with society in general.

Competition, sports and fun in Vienna on March 29, 2023 - Schoool Games

 

Schoool Games 2023

Competition, sports and fun in Vienna on March 29, 2023.

More than 100 students with disabilities from eleven schools participated in the table tennis tournament and bocce ball tournament. Sport and exercise for all - the Schoool Games in Vienna were a great success again this year.

After all the active participants had gathered in the sports hall, it was time to start the Schoool Games. Boccia requires full concentration and physical effort.

Behind a thick partition to the boccia talents there are seven table tennis tables just waiting to be played on. The children and young people lost no time and get going. Everywhere you look there was eager play, tactics, cheering or shaking their heads in despair. ÖBSV mascot Flappy mingles with the athletes, high-fives the winners and comforts the unlucky ones. The ORF captures the great atmosphere in moving pictures, the loud boccia fans are in good voice even after several hours of action.

Proud winners and the crowning of great performances

After several hours of intense sport, the shiny medals have well deserved their new owners. To thunderous applause from the other students, the top finishers collect their honours and a cloth mascot each.

All participants had been assigned enormously strong opponents in their preliminary rounds. However, Mohammad, Nibir and Carina managed to advance to the semi-finals via the intermediate rounds. In the team duel between Mohammad and Nibir, Nibir could prevail and qualify for the final. Against last year's tournament winner, however, no set win was possible despite a very good performance. Since the third places were not played, Mohammad reached the excellent 3rd place. After Nibir had taken the third place last year, he succeeded in a further increase and he rewarded for his performance with the 2nd place this year.

The excellent 2nd place for Carina came as a surprise. In the final, she only had to admit defeat to the outstanding winner of the past three years in a highly dramatic final with 10:12/1:11 and 6:11.

After the absence of some players, the two teams had to be re-formed by the coaches, which proved to be an absolute stroke of luck in the further course of the tournament in the constellation of Caroline and Treasure. After a bumpy start in the first round, the two of them went on a brilliant run of success that could not be stopped by their opponents even in the final match. This gave Caroline and Treasure the first tournament win for FIDS10 in boccia.

We would like to thank all the students who participated in the Schoool Games with joy and enthusiasm, all the teachers who registered and accompanied their protégés and all those who helped to organize this wonderful morning.
