Testimonials
“My Injury changed everything I did. I lost my purpose and went into a deep depression. Basketball literally saved my life. Wheelchair basketball gave me something to do and brought other people like me together. I no longer left alone.”

Coach| Ft. Lauderdale Sharks
“After having a mastectomy and battling breast cancer for 3 years and not making any progress in regaining full range of motion on my left side, an OT suggested that I try wheelchair basketball since she knew I played in high school and college before my disability. Wheelchair basketball changed my life, gave me a new sense of purpose and a a community of people that made me feel welcomed and not so alone. I am stronger and happier.”
