Lancaster Bulldogs is the only wheelchair basketball team within a 50 mile radius from the clubs venue at Salt Ayre Leisure Centre.
Their senior team is currently in Division 3 of the British Wheelchair Basketball National League, competing against teams from all across the North of England. They also have a development team for younger and newer players who compete in the UKWB league which runs at Penrith. They pride themselves in being an inclusive club and have players and participants of all ages, genders and abilities. Wheelchair Basketball is a high intensity and competitive sport, but is also a lot of fun. The club offers a safe place for children and adults with or without a disability, to learn the skills of the game, keep fit, meet new people, increase their confidence and have fun.
They approached us as they needed to purchase some new basketballs as they had lost many over the years and no longer had enough of all the different sized basketballs for use by all the various participants at their training sessions. They also wanted a lockable basketball cage, so they can keep all the basketballs stored safe and secure within the venue and prevent any more being lost or stolen. We were more than happy to help!
