Front Page Previous Story Next Story National Wheelchair Basketball Athletes Bring Sports Passion to NIH By Anne Philips and Carlton Coleman For only the second time in recent memory, the parking lot in front of Bldg. 1 was cleared to make way for street ball. The Maryland Ravens, a team of nationally ranked wheelchair athletes, played a vigorous game of basketball against a squad of enthusiastic NIH Police. Earnest but new to the game, the police soon showed themselves to be unprepared for the physical and cognitive demands of wheelchair propulsion and play. The exhibition game inaugurated NIH's annual observance of National Disability Awareness Month. On behalf of NIH, Stephen A. Ficca, director of the Office of Research Services, greeted the Ravens and opened the exhibition to a spirited crowd. The Ravens easily trounced the NIH squad 51 to 49, despite the police starting out with an unearned 40-point lead. While wheelchair basketball is similar to the running game, it is also characterized by its own unique style. The high-intensity sport reveals its own system of attack, possessing a unique dribbling rule to accommodate the movement of athletes in wheelchairs. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the game. A second game (see sidebar below), pitting the Ravens against another NIH squad, Double Helix, was held later in the Clinical Center.

The exceptions are rules which have been modified with consideration for the wheelchair. For example, "travelling" in wheelchair basketball occurs when the athlete touches his wheels more than twice after receiving or dribbling the ball. The individual must pass, bounce or shoot the ball before he or she can touch their wheels again. Wheelchair basketball has intense competition on the international level, and competitions include the Paralympic Games, an event held for athletes with physical disabilities in the Olympic host city two weeks after the Olympic Games, and the Gold Cup, a qualifying tournament held two years after every paralympics.

Home Sports ][Basketball] O rganized wheelchair basketball was started in the same year at both ends of the US. The California Chapter of Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) and the New England Chapter of the same organization both agree that it started sometime in 1946 in the Veterans Administation (VA) hospitals. 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. By 1948 there were six teams in the US, all members of the PVA and all functioning from VA hospitals. In that year, the Birmingham, California team received a sponsored tour - by plane - to play paraplegic teams across the country. This tour spawned the formation of the first wheelchair basketball team outside of a VA hospital. The first 'civilian' hometown team was named the Kansas City Wheelchair Bulldozers, later the Kansas City Rolling Pioneers. The Flying Wheels of California won the first National PVA Championship. Their name became well known because the Wheels made 10 cross-country tours. These trips did much raise public awareness of wheelchair basketball, paraplegics and other severely disabled persons.

Elizabeth Grubgeld with her brother Ed English Professor Endows $10K for OSU Wheelchair Basketball Team During a car accident in 1960, 16-year-old Ed suffered a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down. The Grubgeld family lived in rural California, where no adaptive sports or resources for paraplegic individuals existed. After the family moved to Palo Alto, Calif., Ed began working at the Stanford University Medical Library in 1967 and served as a library aid for 34 years. Due in part to health problems arising from a lack of physical activity, he passed away suddenly from heart failure in 2001. Ed Grubgeld Top of page ^
