Hoop Dreams: Meet the Michigan Rollverines

Author: Michigan Medicine Podcast Network February 2, 2024 Duration: 25:24
In mid-January, the Michigan Rollverines – the organization’s youth wheelchair basketball program – traveled to Fort Wayne, Indiana for its first competitive tournament since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament was a success – as has been the entire program, which is run by the U-M Adaptive and Inclusive Sports Experience, or UMAISE. Now, the Rollverines are looking to expand and give even more kids the opportunity to experience competitive sports. Check out the latest episode of The Wrap to learn more about the program and how you can help it grow!
