Wheelchair Basketball Training

[@Quicktwosteps]

Why they don't lower the rim proportionately in wheelchair basketball? Is it equipment issue, morals, or pride?

[@alicedyer7375]

Quicktwosteps in under 15s the basket is at 8 foot. Any older train in a 10 foot basket. When you first start you normally start off with the 8ft regardless of age. Also in wheelchair basketball you need really good upper body strength so a smaller basket would be super difficult. Also it helps break down the misconceptions that people with disabilities are "weaker". I hope this helped clear things up 😁

Side note: it's also a way to show off tbh. If u can get a 10ft basket from the half way mark it gives you a new status lol.

Because we don't need to.

not gonna lie, I don't think that's a good idea to have her roll on her side. That could be really bad on the hips if the knees are fairly bent. I was told this in rehab myself.

I think I would like to have a go at wheel chair disability

[@alicedyer7375]

Peter Wareham that's a really good idea. I personally have played wheelchair basketball since I was 7. It's really good fun whatever you play. Everyone is really supportive and ability doesn't really matter
