For the first time in U.S. history, interscholastic wheelchair basketball teams participated in the time-honored tradition of high school basketball championship competition. On March 5, the American Association of AdaptedSports? Program's (AAASP's) Georgia Wheelchair Basketball Championship was held in conjunction with the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) State Basketball Championships at Gwinnett Arena in metro Atlanta.

The AAASP Georgia Wheelchair Basketball Championship will also be added to Georgia Public Broadcasting?s annual coverage of the GHSA State Boys and Girls Basketball Championships. As with high school basketball, the AAASP wheelchair basketball teams compete throughout the winter school season. AAASP governs 12 interscholastic wheelchair basketball teams throughout Georgia. At the conclusion of 10 weeks of competition, AAASP's top four varsity teams compete for the semi-final championship and the top two junior varsity teams compete for their division championship.
