Wheelchair netball is a variation of netball adapted for play in wheelchairs. A hybrid version of basketball and netball was introduced at the Grand Festival of Paraplegic Sport in 1949. Six teams composed of 37 athletes competed at the event. This hybrid version of netball was played at every year's festival until 1954; it was replaced by wheelchair basketball in 1956.
Modern versions of wheelchair netball are similar to standard netball, but with modified rules regarding contact, obstruction and travelling.

Students in PPL20 gaining experience in the difficulties faced by people in wheelchairs participating in sports. How can we modify sports to be more inclusive?
Wheelchair basketball was originally developed by World War II veterans in the USA in 1945. At the same time, Sir Ludwig Guttmann developed a similar sport, Wheelchair Netball, at the Spinal Rehabilitation Hospital in Stoke Mandeville.
