Wheelchair basketball is an exciting sport of skill and teamwork. Whether you’re an athlete with an amputee, a spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or another lower extremity disability, basketball is a great way to get exercise, have fun, and be challenged. The rules of wheelchair basketball are slightly modified to make the game more accessible from a seated position. To play the sport, athletes must be able to push a manual wheelchair independently. For more information about wheelchair basketball, visit www.nwba.org. Practices are held every Wednesday evening from 6:30-9 p.m. (September-May) at Carousel House (corner of Belmont Ave. and Avenue of the Republic, Philadelphia, PA 19131).
