Wheelchair netball is a variation of netball adapted for play in wheelchairs. It can be played by both people with and without disabilities.[1]
A hybrid version of basketball and netball was introduced at the Grand Festival of Paraplegic Sport in 1949.[2] Six teams composed of 37 athletes competed at the event.[2] This hybrid version of netball was played at every year's festival until 1954; it was replaced by wheelchair basketball in 1956.[2]
Modern versions of wheelchair netball are similar to standard netball, but with modified rules regarding contact, obstruction and travelling.[3]
