Wheelchair Basketball

Wheelchair Basketball is an energetic sport offered to players who can use a manual wheelchair. Played on indoor or outdoor courts, the game simply requires a basketball and a goal. Rules follow closely those of traditional basketball.

Competitive Basketball

SportsNet partners with Rochester Wheels, the region’s competitive wheelchair basketball team. The Wheels currently meet on Wednesday nights to practice, and travel to various locations such as NYC, Ohio and Pennsylvania for tournaments.

Recreational Basketball

SportsNet provides a recreational program that runs on Monday nights through most of Fall, Winter, and Spring. Summer programming varies. This recreational program is a great way to get introduced to the game, learn basic skills, and develop and train in a social environment. Monday night games are “pick-up games” facilitated by a SportsNet volunteer athlete who is also a Wheels team member. Players from the Wheels often join in on Monday nights to practice and mentor newer players.
