TJ Comer, an 18-year-old wildlife ecology freshman, plays wheelchair basketball Thursday evening as part of the Inclusivity project at RecSports. Every other semester, wheelchair basketball is offered as a sport for UF students to compete in. Students who aren’t handicapped are encouraged to join to raise awareness for disabilities and to understand people who have disabilities. “It’s a lot harder than I thought it would be,” Comer said. “But eventually I got used to it.” He said he was planning on joining intramural basketball and flag football but is now considering joining wheelchair basketball.
