FOCUS ON…

THE GREEN CANARIES WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL CLUB: 

The name The Green Canaries was formed in March 2007.  As an experienced wheelchair basketball player for many of years playing in The Great Britain Wheelchair Basketball Leagues and travelling to London just to train every week, I came up with an idea to form an Adult/Junior Club in Norwich.

At first, we played at the UEA for 6months, but it was difficult with regards to transporting the sportchairs and having no storage, so we moved to Recreation Sports Centre. This turned out to be a very positive decision and we have been running ever since. Now with the Sports Centre’s Leisure Assistant, Tim has given the club support throughout and his skills to help the club develop and increase the interest.

We currently have 20 members but slowly increasing with the love of basketball.  We are here to provide the local community a place to train every week and enjoy the participation that brings to all. The goal of the club is the participate in a league and with the committed players we have, we are hoping to the joining the GBWBA National League in the near future
