Wheelchair Basketball Program

Wheelchair basketball uses many of the same rules as its counterpart, but special rules accommodate dribbling from a wheelchair. Athletes are engaged to learn the basic rules of the game, develop fundamentals and skills, and apply these on the court.

Wheelchair basketball is open to athletes with physical disabilities such as amputation/limb loss, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, brain injury, stroke, and other orthopedic and locomotor disabilities. You do not have to utilize a wheelchair on a daily basis to qualify for wheelchair basketball. Athletes in this sport are grouped by age.
