The Australian women’s Deaf Basketball team the Geckos set off for a journey of a life time and returned having achieved many personal and team goals. Being part of the Australian Deaflympic team was new for 7 out of the 9 players with 5 having played in an international tournament before. The level of competition was challenging however the geckos maintained enthusiasm and put up a strong fight against all other teams. Playing against the top teams in the world meant the Geckos had to concentrate on why they were there and really focus on bringing out their best game. Lead by an awesome coaching team, officials and plenty of close supporters, all the Geckos were very proud of what they achieved during the 7 games.
