On Wednesday the 8th of May, the two year 9 PASS classes had a wheelchair basketball incursion, which was hosted by Richard who was part of the Basketball roadshow company.. Richard has played many different wheelchair sports, some even at national level, such as basketball, table tennis, rugby, etc. His many experiences really demonstrate how even though he is in a wheelchair, he can still do amazing things. This incursion really made us realise how hard it is for those who are disabled to play other sports. Wheelchair basketball was such an interesting sport to play, and although it has many similarities to abled basketball, there are also a lot of differences. For example, the players are allowed to have two pushes of the wheels before they can take a bounce, so there’s much easier movement. It’s just such a different sport,and is much harder to get the ball off a rebound or if it bounces out of bounds, it’s much harder to try and save it or catch it. Having this opportunity, this experience has made us realise how fortunate abled people are, and how those who have a disability and have a much harder time in everyday life and struggle with things that come easy to us. Thank you to Richard for giving us this opportunity, and to Mr Fricot and Miss Flegg who organised it.
