Atangana Wheelchair Basketball Camp
Wheelchair basketball initiation, a 3x3 tournament and a 5x5 gala game: a joyful, demanding sports event for wheelchair players in Cameroon.
The camp at a glance
Designed by Frédéric Conrat Atangana, Paralympic athlete and wheelchair basketball player, the camp was born at INJS in Yaoundé in October 2021 with about forty athletes from six regions. It brings experienced and beginner players, coaches, referees and volunteers together around wheelchair basketball.
In August 2025, at the Biyem-Assi sports complex (Yaoundé), about forty participants from several regions played the 3x3 and 5x5 tournaments, and four young athletes from the North region were spotted for the national team.
Beyond sport, it is a moment of visibility and pride: media, federations and institutions come to see what wheelchair athletes can do.
