Wheelchair
Panthers
Training, competition and community for athletes with disabilities. Inclusion is a design decision at this club, not a gesture.

The team
Game on,
no exceptions
Basketball belongs to everyone. Our wheelchair programme gives athletes living with disabilities structured training, real competition and a team to belong to.
Coaching, equipment and session design are all built around a fair and genuinely competitive environment. Our wheelchair athletes are among the toughest players at this club.
The ask
One chair,
one season
A single sports wheelchair puts one athlete into a full season of competition. It is the most direct donation anyone can make to this club.
If you can help source or fund one, we will tell you exactly who is using it.
- No provincial league yet
There is no sanctioned wheelchair league in Matabeleland North. We are working with local and national stakeholders to build one.
- Friendlies and invitationals
Until then we train, play friendlies and enter invitational games that keep our players sharp and visible.
- Mixed fixtures
We host inclusive games where able-bodied and disabled athletes share a court. It changes how a crowd sees the sport.
- Sports wheelchairs
Expensive, hard to source locally, and the single biggest barrier between our athletes and a full season.
