Jr Thunder Wheelchair Basketball Practice
Summary
This is the Jr Thunder wheelchair basketball practice.
Description
Historical documents reveal that, in 1946, the California Chapter of Paralyzed Veterans of America played the first match of wheelchair basketball, two weeks prior to the New England Chapter. Thereafter, it spread across the nation to VA hospitals in Boston, Chicago, Memphis, Richmond and New York. Before long, the sport had spread across the border to Canada and across the ocean to England.

The Jr. Thunder are the youth affiliate to the Triangle Thunder, whose goal consists of fostering each participant's social and societal well-being by fostering their physical well-being through vigorous physical exercise, skill formation, and healthy fellowship with other persons with disabilities.
