Knights Wheelchair Basketball Club

Knights Wheelchair Basketball Club Who are we... NI Knights aims to improve the physical and mental wellbeing of disabled people in Northern Ireland through the sport of wheelchair basketball!

The Knights are a registered Charity set up in 1990 to provide opportunities for disabled people to get involved in team sport. The Knights promote a healthy lifestyle for disabled people and encourage social inclusion. Today the club has over 50 players coming from various parts of Northern Ireland ranging from total beginners up to elite players. The club has players aged 7yrs – mid forties and caters for both male and female participants (wheelchair basketball is a mixed sport right up until International level). The Knights have a number of volunteers who give up their time to ensure that the Knights commitments and activities run smoothly. You do not have to be a permanent wheelchair user to play wheelchair basketball. The majority of the Knights players are those with lower limb disabilities e.g. Amputees, Paraplegic, Spina Bifida, however those with minimal disabilities also play e.g. permanent sports injuries and the club also has several non-disabled players training/competing at various levels within the club. The Clubs main training venue is at Hammer Youth Club, Agnes Street, Belfast BT13 3GG (parking available). There are weekly training sessions throughout the Basketball season (September – May). There is always additional training off season too for our senior members. Training Times: Thursday evenings
Venue: Hammer Youth Club, Agnes Street, Belfast, BT13 3GG

19:00 - 20:15 - Development session
20:30 - 22:00 - Senior session

The Knights are committed to the development of the sport & players and welcome new players of all ages throughout the year. The club has a number of ‘Club sports chairs’ for new players to try out. Simply contact the Club Secretary or Coach for more information, we are always around to answer any questions you have.

That is a wrap for the 2025/26 Disability Sport NI Wheelchair Basketball League and a win for The KnightMares.🏆💜💛

🏀 It was an all Knights final with a highly competitive Thors Hammers⚒️ defending against KnightMares🐴 to keep their title and their name on the cup. It was only fair that KnightMares got to take the win. It may have been extremely competitive on court, but both teams will return to training the best of mates. 3X3 Tournament up next 💛💜

Congratulations to all the League Teams and to BCWolves for their Vase win, amazing play all season. Shout out to Pablo and all the DSNI Officials for a great season.

🏀The Knights are delighted to finish in the 1st & 2nd spots in the DSNI Wheelchair Basketball League and are now looking towards Finals Day on 9th May 2026 at Newforge.

Game Day 7, hosted by Craigavon Lakers did not play out as we had hoped. A nail-biting day with both KnightMares and Thors Hammers narrowly missing out on the wins against BC Werewolves and Craigavon Lakers respectively, congratulations to both teams for very competitive games.

Thankfully Thors Hammers won their second game of the day against Causeway Giants and Knightmares second game albeit cancelled against Bangor Bulls, took a 20-0 win.

Why not come along and cheer us on Finals Day, everyone is welcome 🏀
