Wheelchair basketball

The easiest team sport to just turn up and try. You need no chair of your own to start: in the UK, local clubs will usually lend you a sports chair and show you how to handle it, and the British Wheelchair Basketball club finder takes a postcode and lists the nearest clubs. UK clubs also let non-disabled players train and compete, so a mixed group of friends, partners or teammates can play together. In the US, the National Wheelchair Basketball Association has run the domestic game since 1949 and now counts more than 225 teams, with divisions for men, women, college, juniors and several skill levels, which makes it straightforward to find a level that suits.
