There are many adaptive-Sports for young kids to get involved with one of the most popular ones at least my favorite adaptive sports is wheelchair basketball.
Wheelchair sports are to be believed to start in 1948 when England hosted what was called the wheelchair games at Stoke Mandeville Hospital.
It’s 2023 and adaptive-Sports have progressed since then.
One of the most popular adaptive Sports is wheelchair basketball many people in a disabled community that play sports play wheelchair basketball because it’s so similar to the real game.
When it comes to playing wheelchair basketball there can be a steep learning curve for some people particularly people with spina bifida that’s because it takes a little while to catch on because of the development part of what spina bifida entails.
If you do have a kid with a disability I would highly encourage parents to try Wheelchair Sports or adaptive Sports because they do well for people with disabilities in so many ways.
In any sport in particular with a person with spina bifida, it’s important to get them started early so they can learn the sport that there a part of.
First, you want to get the right wheelchair now they have sports wheelchairs which also work as regular wheelchairs Sports wheelchairs are great for playing sports like wheelchair basketball and it makes it easy for Mobility on the court as well. Insurances will cover a sports chair they will not cover a basketball wheelchair, but they will cover a lightweight sports wheelchair.
Second, you want to find adaptive Sports in your area would you want to use the internet and find out how much it costs and what you need to do to join?
Third, let the coaches coach your kid they know what they’re doing and how to get the best out of your kid.
Fourth, If you or your spouse have played Sports you could play sports with your child which is a great way for them to learn even if it’s with somebody that doesn’t have a disability.
So parents if you want to keep your kid active and possibly make lifelong friends think about adaptive sports.
