The Association offers persons with disabilities the
opportunity of attending cricket matches at Sahara Park, Newlands,
by way of distributing complimentary tickets, courtesy of the
Western Province Cricket Association (WPCA).
The WPCA recognised the need for participation of persons with disabilities in audiences of the major sports and entered into an agreement with APD to provide a set amount of complimentary tickets to every season.
This venture has been extremely well received amongst those who have attended matches regularly and it remains a race to secure a ticket to an upcoming one-day international!
