The Sheffield Steelers Wheelchair Basketball Club was founded in 1987. The Steelers' story is a one of sheer determination, a swift rise to success and international recognition. Within just three years of forming, many of the founding players represented Great Britain in the World Championships and finished 11th. Over the next few years the British squad became packed with Steelers and went on to win medals at the European Championships, World Championships and took the silver medal at the Paralympics in Atlanta. Steelers players weren't just making waves for Team GB; from their base camp at the Northern General Hospital, the dedicated players powered their way up the domestic leagues and secured the coveted Euro League Cup. Your donation helps to keep the club running and deliver proffesional coaching to all, regardless of ability. Thank you
