Wheelchair basketball

An exciting, action-packed, smaller format of the 5x5 game, 3x3 Wheelchair Basketball will make history in Birmingham when the sport makes its Commonwealth Games. 

Combining speed, skill, agility and balance, teams will battle it out to steal, block and shoot their way to victory in the heart of the city centre. Fast-paced and frenetic, this new format is expected to make 3x3 Wheelchair Basketball one of the highlights of Birmingham’s inclusive sports programme. 

Played on half-court, with the same height basket as basketball, 3x3 Wheelchair Basketball is quick and intense with teams having just 12 seconds to shoot during each phase of play with games played over a single period of 10 minutes. 

Anybody who has not seen the sport before can expect thrills, spills (with the sport renowned for being hard-hitting) and plenty of drama, making 3x3 Wheelchair Basketball a sport not to be missed!
