More Info

The Coventry Wheelchair Basketball Academy (CWBA) provides wheelchair basketball training and development regardless of age, ability, gender, ethnic background or religion.

All activities are provided and supported by volunteers. 

The Academy is aimed at people who have a physical disability and is inclusive. This encompasses all ages, both male and female from many cultures and religions which represent the area. Able bodied players are also encouraged and are integrated into the academy at every level. 

The ethos of the academy is to encourage personal development and social interaction, through wheelchair basketball, leading to improved self confidence in the players. 

Due to the consistent recruitment activity with Schools, Universities and Colleges we now have new participants coming forward every month. We regularly average 30 players per evening. 

The typical benefits reported by participants, parents and physiotherapists are related to health and well being as well as increased self-confidence and other tools which help people progress in their lives. 

We continue to welcome any players aged 6 years and over who are interested in the sport of wheelchair basketball, providing access to equipment and coaching staff dedicated to supporting personal and basketball skills development.

What sets us apart from every other wheelchair basketball club is the fact that we engage entire families in the activity. This means for example a family with a disabled child all get into wheelchairs and play alongside each other. The results from this are fantastic! Families are able to play, have fun and develop together.

We are self managing and self financing. We have an active committee of volunteers.  New members are always welcome as players and volunteers.
