There are different types of chairs for different types of sports. Tennis uses one type of chair, basketball or rugby another. My VAMC in Salisbury, NC is ordering one for me to play softball. Invacare is one of the 2 providers that I could choose from.

Here's their website - http://www.invacare.co.nz/index.cfm/1,231,0,33,html/Sports-amp-Recreation

Being as active as possible is the best thing for the body and the mind.
