Every Saturday since April, a group of able and non able bodied folks take up space at the Peterborough YMCA.

They play basketball. They play basketball in wheelchairs. According to Mat Abbot, co-organizer of the drop in for fun league, there aren’t any special rules in wheelchair basketball. It’s pretty much like regular basketball.

The league wrapped up last week, but Mat is hoping to keep it going if there’s an interest.

I had a chance to try the sport and it was HARD. Especially trying to shoot with a camera, wheel the chair, catch the ball, pass the ball and trying to shoot at a net which is WAY higher from a chair!

Here’s the VLOG (watch time 2:21).

This is challenging! A fun pick up league on Saturdays at the Peterborough YMCA. You can contact Mat Abbott if you are interested!
