Registrations will close the 28 February 2025
The Wheelchair Basketball HER SPORT Festival is a wonderful opportunity to play competitive Wheelchair Basketball in a safe and inclusive environment. It is also an opportunity to connect with old and new friends, learn new skills and encourage/mentor more girls & women into our sporting community.
You are invited to attend for the full weekend, or a day of your choice.
All women and girls (cis and trans), non-binary people and gender minorities are welcome to get involved over the weekend.
All abilities included. New and experienced players are welcome. There will be plenty of expert coaches on hand to teach you the rules and skills required and everyone will have a chance to play, from our elite national league players to those just starting out. Please bring your own sports chair if you have one, otherwise Wheelchair Sports will provide one.
