COLORADO SPRINGS, CO. - The National Wheelchair Basketball Association (NWBA), Turnstone, and Visit Fort Wayne are proud to host the 2025 Women’s and Military Division Wheelchair Basketball National Championships for a second straight year. 

The event is scheduled to be held April 25 - 27, 2025 at the Plassman Athletic Center at Turnstone. This signals just the second time that the Nationals will be held in Indiana. The host venue, Plassman Athletic Center, offers 190,000-square feet of adaptive event space and features four full-sized basketball courts. 
 
“The return of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association Women’s & Military Championships to Fort Wayne reflects the effective partnership between Turnstone and the city of Fort Wayne," said Mike Mushett, CEO of Turnstone.
