Wheelchair
basketball is an upcoming sport in the world today. It is for disabled
people. The people get to play basketball with some changes in rules
but still the basic game.
Wheelchair basketball
is simple. Of coarse you still want to make the ball go through the
hoop but there is some differences from basketball. You can not lean
on one of your wheels. Both wheels have to be stable on the floor.
Also there can not be any physical touching and you can not jump out of
your wheelchair basketball. It can be confusing sometimes but really
it is simple.
In wheelchair
basketball there are three divisions. There are divisions one, two,
and three. It is divided by ages. Division one it is the younger
children. In two it is a little older kids. In three it is
adults. In the divisions the rules stay the same. No division
has easier or harder rules, so as you grow up you never get confused because
of a rule change. Many think that the disabled people should be able
to play in the NBA with non disabled people. The committee decided
not to and the stuck with the three divisions.
The popularity
of the WCNBA is growing in America. More and more people are getting
involved. The committee has upgraded because of all the people.
They have started to make special events in which the people can earn trophies
and money just like in the NBA. People are thrilled that disabled
people can join in normal activities. Wheelchair basketball is a wonderful
thing.
