wheel chair basketball


Wheel chair basketball is like basketball but for disabled people that can´t

awalk.

Some rules are:

A player can push their wheelchair and bounce the ball simultaneously, however, if the ball is picked up and/or placed on the players lap, the player is only allowed to push twice before they are must shoot, pass, or dribble the ball again.

The wheelchair is considered part of the player's body in relation to establishing responsibility for contact on court in the case of charging, blocking, going out of bounds, and other violations. Charging and blocking depends on where your chair is in relation to your opponent's chair and the speed at which you are both traveling. This rule is the hardest to get used to and takes time before players to adjust to.

Here is one of the best players of wheelchair basketball called Patrick Anderson.
