The fast-paced and competitive nature of wheelchair basketball has brought in a lot of followers for the game, not just among the specially-abled, but the able-bodied as well. London Titans, the most successful southern England club, accepts both kinds of people to train with them. As the game has fans universally, London Titans have also got a fair share of die-hards.
But the club has been void of any central sports funding even after producing 50+ Team GB players.
Anita Choudhrie’s charity Path to Success is organising a corporate wheelchair basketball tournament where the donations received would go to London Titans. The event will be held at Copper Box Arena in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Team GB Paralympians would also take part in the exciting outing.
Around eight teams of six to eight members will compete in the all-day event.
Anita Choudhrie, who is the founder of Path to Success, hopes everyone gets an amazing experience of playing the game: “Our goal for the day is to create an open and positive environment within which colleagues can experience the competitive nature of wheelchair basketball for the first time.”
“We are offering a unique experience to get away from the office and create lasting memories, while also raising money for an exceptional cause.”
To ensure a highly competitive event, Ann Wild OBE, a five-time Team GB Paralympian would coach the teams and other Team GB players would mark their presence by displaying their skill set.
The games will be held from 9 am- 5 pm on two courts together and the final two teams will face-off to become champions. A voluntary minimum donation of £5,000 is expected from the participating teams.
Money from donations would be utilised in sports wheelchairs, match fees, court hire and the transport and coaching of London Titans.
Spectators are welcomed!
