This Saturday (April 18th), I’ll be playing in a 3-on-3 wheelchair basketball tourney.  It’s to benefit the Bay Area Outreach & Recreation Program located in Berkeley.  Unfortunately, everyone on our team has never played w/c b-ball so today at lunch we gathered all our sports chairs and “practiced” at our Sports Medicine court across the street from the main hospital.

I have horrible upperbody strength so this was pretty challenging.  Just wheeling myself across the street was an adventure all by itself.  Once at the court, we all realized how much harder it is to shoot the ball without your legs, being at least a foot shorter, and still having to get the ball into a hoop at regulation height.  We all survived our one and only practice session and hopefully it will be enough.  Come out and watch me!!!

Venue/Location:
