Description
A friendly team of wheelchair basketball players both disabled and able bodied who will train in sports wheelchairs and compete in BUCS. We can provide sports chairs if you need them. Training is split into 2 categories of session: Static Training, involving stationary passing, efficient pushing and shooting technique. Motion Based Training, focusing on the different offensive, defensive and technical abilities of the players. We will also train set plays and scenarios that can be enacted as a team to score. At the end of each session, a 20-minute game is played against each other where the tactics and plays learned in the session can be put into practice. Membership covers all training sessions and BUCS competitions as well as using one of our sports chairs, a small contribution towards coaches to matches is needed as well as BWB membership for players wanting to take part in BUCS are an additional purchase. All are welcome regardless of wheelchair experience and we look forward to seeing you on the team and at socials!
