Bringing Wheelchair Basketball to Swindon since 2012
Wheelchair basketball is a sport anyone can play – a level playing field where disabled and non-disabled athletes compete side by side. Fast, physical, and open to all.
Accessible
Inclusive
Equal
What We Do
Shock exists for one reason – to give everyone a way into sport, whatever their age, ability or gender. Once you’re here, you’re part of the Shock family.
Open Sessions
Open sessions where anyone can pick up the sport. Build skills, build confidence, build friendships.
Competitive
Wheelchair basketball is one of the UK’s biggest disability sports. Shock develops players and competes against clubs across the country.
Education
We run sessions in schools across Swindon – building awareness of inclusion and giving SEND students a real chance to play alongside their peers.
Community
We show up at community events, bringing sport to people who might not otherwise get the chance.
Our Sessions
Open Session
This is where it all starts. Open to all ages and abilities,* no experience needed and no wheelchair required – we provide the chairs. Come along to learn the sport from scratch, build your skills at your own pace, and meet the rest of the Shock family. Whether you’re curious about wheelchair basketball, looking for a new way to stay active, or just want to try something different with friends, this session is for you.
Every Friday – 4:45-6:00pm
*we can currently only accept members age 6+
League Session
For players ready to take their game further. This session is focused on developing competitive skills and preparing our squad for fixtures in the British Wheelchair Basketball leagues. It’s a step up in intensity and structure, built around teamwork, tactics and match fitness. Places are by direct arrangement with the club – if you’ve got wheelchair basketball experience and want to join, reach out to us to discuss.
Every Friday – 6:00-7:00pm
Venue
New College Sports Centre, New College Dr, Swindon SN3 1AH
