What is a sportsday without sports? Time to sit down and try one.
We can theoretically clear-up some misconceptions about wheelchair basketball:
- yes, the baskets are the same height;
- no, not all players use wheelchairs in everyday life;
- yes, we do bump into each other, but no, it is not like bumper cars;
- yes, you can both dribble the ball and manoeuvre the chair at the same time;
- ...
However, better than theory (and more fun) is to up and try it yourself. So join us for this 45 minute clinic for a no-prior-skill-or-experience-required introduction to one of the most classical paralympic sports.
We bring the wheelchairs, you just bring yourself ;)
