• For Athletes

  • From our Wheelchair Loan Program to our Athlete Wellness Initiative, BC Wheelchair Sports offers a range of resources and supports to our athletes.

  • Wheelchair Loan Program

    Access to equipment is often one of the largest barriers to participating in para sport, our Wheelchair Loan Program addresses the gap for athletes of all levels at BC Wheelchair Sports.

     

    Through the Wheelchair Loan Program, members can access and loan equipment from BC Wheelchair Sports at the affordable rate of $100/year. Bursaries and additional support are also available for those in financial need. Contact our sport staff to learn more today!

  •  

     

    The Wheelchair Loan Program is available to athletes in any of our sports and we have a large inventory of chairs of different shapes and sizes. The program includes rugby chairs, tennis chairs, throwing frames, and racing chairs.

     

    For more information on how to loan a chair or to learn how to donate equipment to BC Wheelchair Sports, please contact Matt McDonell at  coordinator@bcwheelchairsports.com

    • Athlete Assistance Program (AAP)

      The Athlete Assistance Program supports BCWSA’s High Performance Athletes in the pursuit of their athletic goals by providing financial support to assist with training, equipment, and Integrated Support Team (IST) costs.
