Wheelchair Basketball is similar to able-bodied basketball, the size of the court, hoops and balls are all the same. The only difference is that a player must dribble the ball every two pushes of their wheelchair; otherwise that player will be called for travelling.
Currently dsport doesn't have a Wheelchair Basketball team, but if you are interested in playing, please let us know so we can gauge the level of demand. If we get enough interest, we will look at starting a team again.
Wheelchair Rugby is the only team sport designed for tetraplegics, but anyone can play. It offers players both rehabilitation, health and social benefits as well as significant opportunities for athletic achievement at both national and international levels.
Training
Monday 6pm - 8pm
Te Rauparaha Arena, Porirua
