Kelowna Offers Wheelchair Badminton For Fall/Winter


Thanks to the hard work of our community champions, wheelchair sports athletes around the province are getting more and more opportunities to get active. Case in point: Kelowna. Wheelchair tennis athlete and organizer Pat Ryan hosted a successful wheelchair tennis program over the summer. Now that the weather is getting chillier, he's moving the tennis chairs indoors to make room for a new sport: wheelchair badminton.

Wheelchair badminton offers excellent cross-training for wheelchair tennis players, and is a great sport to work on hand-eye coordination. New athletes and veteran players alike are welcome. Sports chairs and rackets are provided.

What: Wheelchair badminton Program
When: Wednesdays, 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Where: Kelowna YMCA, 375 Hartman Rd.
Contact: Pat Ryan at 250-491-9838



Thanks to Pat Ryan for organizing this great program!
