Wheelchair Basketball is a fast paced, exciting sport jam packed with thrills and spills. Macarthur Disability Services runs this sport for local high schools, for its service participants, and for corporate teams in the annual Jamm & Slamm Corporate Wheelchair Basketball Challenge.

It's not only a load of fun; it's also a great mechanism for increasing positive awareness of
people with a disability.

Wheelchair Basketball for High Schools

Macarthur Disability Services is offering high schools the opportunity for their students to participate in Wheelchair Basketball, available in a variety of formats:

  • Demonstration sessions; we can introduce students to the sport by showing them how to use a wheelchair and how to play the game.
  • Sport; providing Wheelchair Basketball as an activity that students can play on their sport day, or as part of their curriculum.
  • Competition; providing a Wheelchair Basketball competition between several schools, played on their sports day.
  • Jamm & Slamm; at the end of the year, all schools that participated throughout the year compete in a one day knockout challenge.
