Motor City Wheelz are members of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association, that compete in the Midwest Conference. Our team welcomes ages 5 to 21 year olds with a lower extremity disability that would prevent participation on their school team.

The team takes pride in its’ focus on academics along with basketball and athletes doing their best on and off the court. Each player can apply for the All-Academic Award presented at the conference championship. Players can go on to one of 12 college teams after playing with the Motor City Wheelz. 

Players gain physical endurance, strength, increased range of motion, increased independence, knowledge of the game, experience working as part of a team, how to win and lose in competition, sportsmanship, social skills development, confidence building, travel experience, community independence, and fun!

The benefits are endless when participating on the junior wheelchair basketball team.
