At ASU, there are two wheelchair sports USA loves to support; wheelchair rugby and basketball. The rugby games are held on a basketball court and the ball is similar to that which is used in volleyball games. The team scores a goal when the two wheels touch or cross over the goal line of the opposing team while possessing the ball.
One of the other fast-paced wheelchair sports USA enjoys is basketball. Wheelchair basketball at ASU consists of a team of five players on a regulation court with 10' baskets. Visit the Web site noted below for more information on adaptive recreation.
