Another Success in Ceduna!

The National Indigenous Basketball and Hip Hop Challenge – the Vibe 3on3® – returned to Ceduna for the third time and was another great success with over forty teams participating.

The community turned out in force, despite the rain, at the Ceduna Area School, on Saturday, December 6, and Sunday December 7, with locals being joined by visitors from as far away as Koonibba and Yalata.

“Ceduna turned out in great force and spirit despite the first rainy weather at a 3on3 in the events 10 year history, this confirms the mutual chemistry which exists between the event and the youth and community of Ceduna,” said Claude Williams, event coordinator of the Vibe 3on3®.

With a tireless and dedicated local committee, it is no secret why Vibe keeps returning to Ceduna.

“Our crew were very impressed not only but the organisation and enthusiasm of the local committee, but their creativity and support too, putting their hand up to run a gym activity as part of the day,” said Claude.

Joining the Vibe crew in Ceduna was former Port Power AFL player, Che Cockatoo Collins, who spent the day hanging out with participants and community members as well as rapper extraordinaire Brothablack.

A big thank you goes out to all the event volunteers who worked so hard to make the event as enjoyable as possible for the young people of Ceduna. Special mention to local sponsors, Ceduna Area School, Families SA, the District Council of Ceduna, Tjutjunaku Worka Tjuta, the Indigenous Coordination Centre, Ceduna Koonibba Aboriginal Health Service, Ceduna Youth Centre, Ceduna Community Gym, South Australian Police in Ceduna, Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol Council SA, Save the Children and the Ceduna District Health Service for their ongoing support.

The Vibe 3on3® is a weekend Aboriginal youth festival that incorporates basketball, dancing, art, culture and health.
