Frequently asked questions

How old to you have to be to play?

We suggest 10 year old and above. However this will depend on the individuals needs, capabilities, and support needed. It is recommended you speak with one of our staff prior to registration. North West Contact: Trent Johnson, Disability Sports Officer (North West) E: pdstassist@paraquadta

Do I need any equipment?

Not at all! We have a fleet of 10-14 wheelchairs at any given time and of varying sizes. Just make sure you bring your own drink bottle, small towel if needed, and any other personal items that you might need. We recommend wearing athletic clothing.

What if I don't have a physical disability, can I play?

Yes, of cause you can! As we live in Tasmania we do do not have a large number of wheelchair users to participate and this means we encourage people without disability to get involved and support those with a disability to enjoy the sport and be able to play games; 3 x 3 or 5 x 5
