Students from the pathfinders group and years 7 – 10 did wheelchair basketball at Calne Leisure centre.
But first, a little history…
The 1940s saw the beginning of wheelchair basketball. In 1944, Ludwig Guttmann, through the rehabilitation program at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital, in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England, adapted existing sports to use wheelchairs. It was known as Wheelchair Netball.
