Seventeen athletes will participate in the five-day camp at the NTC

Wheelchair Basketball Canada announced that 17 athletes will participate in a camp from August 23-27, 2023, at the National Training Centre in Toronto.

The five-day camp will feature a mix of on-court practices and off-court activities as the Senior Men’s National Team prepares for the Parapan American Games in Santiago, Chile (Nov. 17-26).

“This camp will allow our athletes and staff an opportunity to work on technical and tactical plans in preparation for the Parapan American Games,” said Jeff Dunbrack, Wheelchair Basketball Canada High Performance Director. “The five days will also provide our High Performance staff with a chance to evaluate the athletes prior to making final roster selections for Santiago.”
