Hampshire Harriers Wheelchair Basketball Club is the main activity of the Hampshire Wheelchair Sports Club which encourages wheelchair users to engage in sporting activities and improving their fitness. Our team plays in the GBWBA (Great Britain Wheelchair Basketball Association) national league Division 3 South.

The club was started in the early 1980s by Terry Marsh at the request of his nephew who suffered muscular dystrophy. Terry agreed to a three month trial and over twenty years later he is still organising the team activities. In all this he is fully supported by his wife Annette who acts as a Club secretary and table official. The club was first known as the Havant and later as the Hampshire Hedgehogs. Venues for playing have changed many times as Terry sought to find good facilities and a supportive environment at reasonable cost. Chamberlayne Sports Centre which the club has used for the past five years offers excellent access and facilities as well as a highly supportive staff.

The third division south of the national league offers the team about fourteen games a year and may mean travelling as far away as Cardiff and London. All games are conducted under the rules and standards of the Great Britain Wheelchair Basketball Association with two officials present. Spectators are welcome at home matches.

The club is self funding and all players must pay subscriptions. As no public funding has thus far been offered and no commercial sponsorship has thus far been found, fund raising activities are essential and all players are expected to be involved in these at some time.

A separate junior club the Hampshire Hornets was formed in 2007 which takes younger players from 7 years upwards for basketball and other games.
