'Have a
go' sessions pm Friday evenings with the regular Mallard sessions at the same
location
The
‘Mallards Marvels’ were formed as a new section within the Rushmoor
Mallards in 2002 to satisfy the growing local interest in wheelchair
basketball. Initially ‘have-a-go’ sessions were held, and still are, on Friday
evenings at the regular Mallards sessions at the Farnborough Leisure Centre,
but more advanced team squad training sessions are also held on Sundays 6-8pm
at the same venue.
The Marvels have gone from strength to strength and, with the active assistance
of their four Level Two coaches and a further three Level One coaches, now boast a successful mixed team which plays
regularly in the Third Division of the GBWBA League.
Players come from both the local area and from as far away as Southampton, and
the high standard of some players has been recognised with two lady members
having already played for the GB Womens team.
However, many Marvels players are completely new to the sport, with some even
new to using a wheelchair. Being a regular wheelchair user is not a prerequisite
for joining the team!
