Biography:

Elise Froese was an avid stand-up basketball and volleyball athlete in school; however, by the time she reached Grade 7, the osteochondral defect (OCD) in her leg had progressed to the point she had to look for alternatives.

The potential in wheelchair basketball led the Victoria, B.C. native to give the game a chance.

Froese made her Team Canada debut with the Women’s Under-25 team at the 2023 U25 Women’s World Championship in Bangkok, Thailand.

Off the court,  Froese is studying pastoral theology at Summit Pacific College in Abbotsford, B.C.
