WNBL Champion and myFiba Ambassador Abby Bishop will be at Federation Square, Melbourne, tomorrow to help in an attempt on the dribbling World Record.

Grassroots basketball players and fans are encouraged to bring a basketball along before 12.30pm, register and help break the World Record, which was set on 17 May 2007 in Edinburgh when 1,289 people took part.

The world record attempt is free to participate in and open to everyone, with all registered participants receiving a certificate after the event that will also include a group photo of the record breakers.  Participants just need to bring a basketball and register.

There will be random prizes and giveaways for the world record attempt participants as well as live entertainment on the day. As well as Abby Bishop, there will be other Boomers and Opals players present for an autograph signing session, including Joe Ingles (South Dragons), Luke Schenscher (Adelaide 36ers), Cayla Francis (Adelaide 36rs), Emma Randall (Stade Clermontois - France) and Opals head coach Carrie Graf (Canberra Capitals).   

Wheelchair Paralympians Leanne Del Toso of the Gliders and Dylan Alcott of the Rollers will also take part in the record attempt, as well as South Dragons championship winners Daniel Dillon and James Orr.

Mark Beretta from Channel Seven’s ‘Sunrise’ program will be the host of the event and there’s lots going on.

The event is part of Basketball Australia’s media conference to reveal the identity of their new Chief Executive Officer and new brand launch, which includes a new SportingPulse-powered website.
