Wheelchair Basketball

History
It was 1946 when World War II veterans played the first wheelchair basketball game in the United States. Since then it has spread throughout the world, and now thousands of athletes play it.

Shortly after the beginnings of Wheelchair Basketball in 1948, the (NWBA) National Wheelchair Basketball Association was developed. That was the beginning of the sport as we know it today. The NWBA is comprised of over 200 teams within twenty-two conferences. Today’s teams include men's, women's, intercollegiate, and youth. A handicap point structure allows paraplegics, incomplete injury quadriplegics, amputees, polios, and orthopedically-disabled players to compete in the sport.

Contact GO Unlimited to get information on weekly practices and wheelchair basketball games. Sometimes we play hard and get great exercise, other times we just hang out and shoot some hoops. You are welcome to join us!
