Long Term Programs, Continued:
Wheelchair basketball has one of
the highest profiles in the world of Paralympic sports.
While the game is similar to the standing game,
including the court size and basket height, it has it’s
own unique characteristics. Zone and man to man defenses
incorporating help principles are commonplace.
Possessing a unique dribbling rule to accommodate the
movement of players in wheelchairs, this high-intensity
sport reveals it’s own system of attack. It often
includes three guards and two forwards in order to
increase movement on court. The pick and roll is it’s
most effective offensive tactic. |
