Many people often assume that because you are disabled you have no right to play sport but tell that to the paralympics and the extremely successful Special Olympics. One of the most common disabled sports is wheelchair basketball. It is one of the most widely played sports by disabled people around the world.

A disability sport is one that is performed by individuals suffering from some form of disability. If one is qualified, there are numerous disability sports events that take place which the individual can take advantage of. These disabled sports are being given more and more importance worldwide, and countries are continuously being encouraged to setup facilities for disabled people to learn and train for various kinds of disability sports. If an individual has talent, a disability must not get in the way of enjoying a sport that he enjoys. Every effort is being made to make disability sports a popular event globally in order to improve the athletic life of disabled individuals.
