Claire Strange

Wheelchair Basketball


Clare Strange was born in High Wycombe where she lives in 18/09/1979 .She states that wheelchair basketball is just a fantastic sport.

In 1997 she broke her back in a horse-riding accident and a year later was playing for the GB wheelchair team at the World Championship in Sydney.

And then two years after that she was back in Sydney for the Paralympics.

She had never played basketball before but worked so hard on her physio.

She credits playing for the Milton Keynes Aces wheelchair basketball club as really helpful to her career.

It's not that different from able-bodied basketball though. Apart from a few different foul rules because of the wheelchair.
