Wheelchair Basketball

Wheelchair basketball is an exciting version of basketball that offers a great way to keep fit, develop new skills and meet new friends.

The game was originally designed as a rehabilitation and recreation activity for those with a physical disability, in particularly those with a spinal cord injury but is now enjoyed by people of all abilities.

Sporting Wheelies provides a number of opportunities for new players to improve their skill level and fitness; such as training sessions and development camps.

If classified, players also have the option to compete in wheelchair basketball at regional, state, national and international level, including at the Paralympics.
