Wakefield Whirlwinds Wheelchair Basketball Club

This season is shaping up to be a great season for our Grassroot level teams🎉🔥🔥

Thinking of trying wheelchair basketball? Come down UKWB Competitions are a great place to start!

Contact us today to get involved!

WB3x3 is a concept for a 3x3 wheelchair basketball league for the UK, put forward by UKWB.

We are building it now, and season one expressions of interest are open to the community.

The concept format: regional pools of five teams, one host club per round, ten-minute games and a twelve-second shot clock, with referees, digital scoring and streaming provided centrally so hosting a round costs a club a hall booking and a day of volunteers.

We are honest about where this starts. None of it is funded yet. Your expression of interest is the evidence that grant applications and sponsorship conversations need, and where the league runs will be decided region by region on what comes back.

If you are a player, a coach or a club official, put your club on the list. Five questions, about three minutes, and it commits your club to nothing.
