WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL TRAINING ZONE

 

The goal of CAF’s Wheelchair Basketball Training Zone, in collaboration with the National Wheelchair Basketball Association, is to help develop and introduce athletes of all ages and abilities to the sport of wheelchair basketball through:

    – A comprehensive training video library
    – Support through CAF’s annual grant program as basketball wheelchairs are the most requested and funded item
    – Information on local adaptive sports groups who have wheelchair basketball teams and tournaments hosted
    – Collaboration with the NWBA, the national governing body in the sport

 

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to develop your skills to get to the next level, the Zone will help you along your journey through the sport.
