It is a fast-paced team game that attracts competitive athletes with physical disabilities that prevent them from running, jumping, and pivoting. Not all athletes who play wheelchair basketball require the use of a wheelchair for daily life. Open to male and female athletes, wheel- chair basketball requires two teams to play. Each team has twelve players with just five on court during playtime. The objective of each team is to score more points than the opposing team. Points are given for scoring goals by shooting the basketball into the opposing team’s basket. A goal scores from one to three points. Teams actively try to prevent the opposing team from making goals. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. Each team is given 24 seconds to complete a goal attempt. If the team with the ball exceeds this time limit, then the ball and the right of play is granted to the opposing team. Goals are scored in the following way: • A free-throw goal = 1 point • A goal from the two-point field goal area = 2 points • A goal from the three-point field goal area = 3 points Wheelchair basketball games have four ten-minute periods with a 15-min- ute interval between the second and third period and one-minute intervals between the first and second, and third and fourth periods.
