Basketball is a game where players bounce a big ball, try to throw it through a hoop high up, and work together as a team. 

Basketball with a Leaf Blower and Switch

• A lightweight ball is placed in front of the leaf blower tube.
  
  

• The player presses an accessibility switch to turn on the blower.
  
  

• The air pushes the ball up and toward the hoop for a “shot.”
  
  

• This lets players shoot without lifting or throwing the ball.
  
  

Basketball with Adapted Ball Holders

• The player uses a ball holder, scoop, or Velcro strap to grip the basketball.
  
  

• They can then push, toss, or lift the ball toward the hoop.
  
  

• Adapted grips help players control and throw the ball even with limited hand strength or dexterity.

Adapted Dribbling

• Use larger, lighter, or slower-bouncing balls to make dribbling easier.
  
  

• Players can dribble by pushing the ball down from their lap, tapping it with their foot, or using a scoop or paddle.
  
  

• A dribble assist strap (strap attached to the ball and the player’s hand or wrist) keeps the ball from rolling away, making it easier to bounce repeatedly and control.
  
  

• The focus is on bouncing the ball and keeping control, no matter the method used.
