University of Illinois Ultimate Basketball Challenge 2009

On April 15th we went to the Ultimate Basketball Challenge at the University of Illinois. Basically the able-bodied men’s and women’s basketball teams play the men’s and women’s wheelchair teams. The cool part is that everyone has to play in wheelchairs. I think it gives everyone a new respect and admiration for the wheelchair athletes.

The grandson, granddaughter and a friend were able to get posters and their basketballs signed by all the athletes and by both the men’s and women’s basketball coaches.









The game was a lot of fun to watch and we all had a good time.
