Adaptive Basketball Court Equipment

A young athlete in a sports wheelchair prepares next to a multi-tiered ball rack on a basketball court. Adaptive basketball uses standard court dimensions and regulation basket heights while employing specialized wheelchairs designed for fast pivots.

Wheelchair Basketball Facts

Sports wheelchairs feature slanted wheels, called camber, which increase lateral stability and allow athletes to make rapid sharp turns without tipping over. The game was created in the 1940s by veterans and became one of the original Paralympic sports.

Equipment Colors in Adaptive Basketball

  • Sports wheelchair frame: polished aluminum, electric blue, or dark red
  • Basketball court floor: golden hardwood with painted blue or red key areas
  • Basketballs: classic pebbled orange leather with black channel lines
  • Multi-tier ball rack: chrome metal or black steel tubing
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Wheelchair Basketball

Are the basketball hoops lower in wheelchair basketball?
No, wheelchair basketball uses the exact same ten-foot basket height and regulation free-throw lines as standard basketball.
Why do sports wheelchairs have angled wheels?
The cambered wheels widen the base of the chair, protecting the athlete's hands from collisions and allowing faster spin turns on court floors.
How do players dribble while pushing their wheelchairs?
Athletes may place the ball in their lap and push their wheels twice before they must bounce or pass the ball to avoid a traveling violation.
