Wheelchair basketball is an adaptive version of basketball that allows individuals with physical disabilities to participate in the sport using sport-specific wheelchairs. Athletes develop skills in shooting, passing, dribbling, and teamwork while competing on the same court and playing by many of the same rules as stand-up basketball.
