The first fully inclusive team sport within BUCS embraces players without regard to their disability, gender, or ability level.
The emergence of wheelchair basketball as a BUCS sport in the 2021/22 season marked a significant milestone in the advancement of inclusive sports at UK universities.
With wheelchair basketball teams based around the UK, students have the opportunity to compete in various league and knockout trophy competitions alongside their studies.
Many UK university teams are also affiliated with national organizations such as British Wheelchair Basketball and participate in regular training sessions and matches against other universities.
Whether you are looking to compete at the highest level or simply enjoy the physical and social benefits of the sport, wheelchair basketball offers a fantastic opportunity for students to develop skills, make new friends, and experience the thrill of competitive sport.
Students have the opportunity to represent their U.K. university basketball team in both league and cup competitions throughout the academic year.
Whilst almost every U.K. university offers their student’s the opportunity to play basketball in some capacity, the standard of the team, coaches and facilities will vary greatly at each.
This is where we aim to provide guidance to our players, to ensure they find the right U.K. university basketball to suit their ability level and aspirations.
Compete at a high level
Wheelchair basketball is both accessible and inclusive at the UK university level, and the growing number of universities that are able to offer the sport has increased participation.
As well as competing against other university teams within the BUCS League System, several U.K. universities are also hosts to teams competing within the British Wheelchair Basketball Women’s Premier League.
The Women’s Premier League provides further opportunities for ambitious women’s wheelchair basketball players looking to compete at a high level alongside their university education.
