12 February 2012 – Wheelchair basketball is one of the best known and most popular Paralympic sports, played by men, women and children. Visitors to this year’s Mobility Roadshow will have the chance to join in a game with some of the GB wheelchair basketball team. But that is just one of the sports you’ll be able to try.

The Roadshow has partnered with two leading lights in disability sport, to mark this 30^th Anniversary event with a celebration of the vast range of sports available to disabled people.

WheelPower, the charity dedicated to transforming lives through sport, will be offering advice on the wide range of sports available, how to get involved, different types of sports wheelchairs and signposting visitors to national and local opportunities.

RGK Wheelchairs, one of the UK’s sports chair specialists, will be hosting the sport in action events – both demonstration and visitor participation – on all three days. Already confirmed are players from both men’s and women’s GB wheelchair basketball teams. The hugely popular ‘shoot to win’ competition for the highest number of ‘baskets’ in 60 seconds will again be a feature, with a daily prize for the winner. Also confirmed are wheelchair rugby league and roller hockey. More will be announced in the weeks ahead – check out www.mobilityroadshow.co.uk for news as it develops. RGK will also be showcasing its latest range of bespoke sports and daily-use chairs.

Mobility Choice would like to thank RGK and WheelPower for their support of the 30th anniversary Mobility Roadshow.
