ARCHIVES AND HISTORYThe University of Alabama Wheelchair Athletics program was founded in 2003 by Dr. Brent Hardin and Dr. Margaret Stran. The program started with a women’s wheelchair basketball team and added a men’s team in 2006. Both teams have enjoyed the support of the Alabama administration, students and faculty including UA President Robert Witt and Alabama has become one of the leaders in the collegiate wheelchair athletics in just a few short years.
Alabama is now one of only four programs in the country that sponsors a men’s and women’s wheelchair basketball team. The Crimson Tide women compete in the women’s division of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association (NWBA) and although one of the newest teams in the division have been a consistent national championship contender. The Alabama men compete in the intercollegiate division of the NWBA and are one of the rising teams in the division. | PREVIOUS TEAMS2009-2010 Women's Team
