The mission of the New Mexico 66ers is to promote wheelchair basketball in a fun and competitive environment. The 66ers are a professional team that are part of NWBA (National Wheelchair Basketball Association). We have been around for 30+ years as a local team promoting physical exercise and an environment where physically disabled individuals can get together. The 66ers also support other divisions including a competitive Junior program with a goal of sending players into college programs, professional overseas team opportunities and of course, graduate up to our NWBA team the 66ers. We also provide an environment for individuals looking for fun and exercises without an obligation to participate in the more strenuous activities.
The NWBA is the national governing body for wheelchair basketball in the U.S. The 66ers are one of over 200 teams that are competing throughout the United States.
Practice
The 66ers practice 2 to 3 days a week at different practice facilities. If you plan on attending any of our practices, please give us a call first so we can confirm the gym is available and if coordinate a ball chair if needed.
