World Disability Billiards and Snooker (WDBS) has announced that this year’s Disability Snooker Day Is today Wednesday 21 April.
It was decided that the day should be celebrated during Betfred World Championship at the Crucible in Sheffield with the aim of raising awareness of disability snooker and the opportunities for people with disabilities to pick up a cue and get involved.
As in previous years , the event is jointly organised by World Snooker Tour and WDBS, which has staged disability snooker events across the UK and mainland Europe since 2015. WDBS aims to provide opportunities for people around the world with disabilities to play our sport competitively, with the long-term goal of taking snooker back to the Paralympics for the first time since 1988.
Throughout today, WST and WDBS will celebrate disability snooker with content via the respective social media platforms of both organisations, as well as during the BBC’s coverage of today’s Crucible action.
As always, WDBS is encouraging everyone who supports disability snooker to get involved on the day using social media. Whether you are a player, official, coach or a fan of the sport, post your memories and what snooker means to you as a person with a disability, or your favourite WDBS memory. You can use their official hashtags #DisabilitySnooker and #Cue4All and help to spread the word!
