Men’s U23 National Team

The Men’s U23 National Team, also known as the junior men’s team, helps to develop the top young Canadian male athletes in order to compete in the Men’s U23 World Championships, which are hosted every four years by the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF). Players must be 22-years-of-age or younger to be eligible to compete.

The junior men’s program works in conjunction with the senior men’s program and many junior athletes go on to compete with the Senior Men’s National Team.
