The NWBA values unequivocal excellence in all aspects of the organization; we strive for excellence with integrity and respect; we recognize our rich tradition as a solid foundation; we celebrate the development of our members and our community; and we believe in the pursuit of competitive excellence always.

These players include men, women, youth, and veterans who have a physical disability. Wheelchair basketball is played at various skill and competition levels.

A collaboration model has been developed and adopted by the NWBA. The basic premise of this model is that the non-profit, private, and public sectors will leverage their respective strengths in an effort to attain the NWBA’s fund raising goal. In addition, funds for identified priorities will include contributions from multiple partners. No single entity will be responsible for funding a project. The goal is to fund these community priorities through collaboration.Key Affiliations include: USA Basketball, National Basketball Association (NBA), United States Olympic Committee (USOC), USA Paralympics, and International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF). In addition, the NWBA has partnerships with the Lakeshore Foundation and SPIRE Institute - officially designated USOC and USA Paralympic Training Sites. We are also involved with college programs in eight universities that allows members to be student athletes....many with basketball scholarships. Universities include the University of Texas, Illinois, Missouri, Alabama and Auburn

We’re a grassroots basketball organization who’s mission is to empower our youth through quality basketball events while positively impacting the communities in which they’re held. 

At Teammate Basketball, we believe the traits that make a great teammate are the same traits that will carry over into other areas of a young athlete’s life. Selflessness, work ethic, communication, respect, reliability - all these things contribute to success on the court, but more importantly serve as essential life skills. Our goal is to foster an environment, not only where basketball skills can be enhanced and exposed, but also where kids can learn what it takes to be the ultimate teammate. 

We’re a travel team centered organization. What does that mean? It means we have a stake in the advancement of your travel program. It’s at the core of our company - we want you to succeed. We know you’re making a big difference in your community and in the lives of your participants, our model sets forth to support your efforts and provide the resources you need to sustain.
