The Eugene Express wheelchair basketball team is open to players of all level of basketball skills and all levels of disabilities. Our players come from Lane and Linn county, and we welcome players from anywhere. Whether you want to play just for fun and exercise or would like to play competitively, you are always invited to show up for the practices and shootarounds.  We have a good mix of casual and serious players, so everyone can find a level to fit their goals.

Who is eligible-Anyone who has an interest in playing wheelchair basketball.  Women and Men.  Disabilities run from paraplegics to ambulatory players with artificial hips and arthritis sufferers who don't use a wheelchair except to play basketball.. Ages range from 13 to our old wheezer point guard coach who is under 60 - maybe. College wheelchair basketball scholarships are available from several colleges, including D-1 schools. If you are a high schooler, now is a great time to develop a good game.

Wheelchairs-We can get you a wheelchair through the Eugene Recreation Department or other sources.  Don't let the lack of a wheelchair or thinking you need a special wheelchair stop you from joining us.  Show up and we will work it out - we always have extra chairs.

             Ask for Bert at the Willakenzie Store for great pricing  541-344-4150

Coaching- Our coaches will take time out from drills or scrimmage to help you with your fundamentals on a one to one basis.  Several of our current players have played on nationally ranked teams. They are great at helping you attain the level of play that you want to achieve, from just being good enough to enjoying intra-squad scrimmages to being good enough to be invited to play in major tournaments.

Games-We occasionally play teams from Portland and other West Coast cities.  Express players who want to play at a higher level of play on a regular basis can travel with the Portland Bridge City Brewers.
