Wheelchair Basketball

Wheelchair Basketball

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.
