The researcher, asa coach of youth and advanced wheelchair basketball leagues noticed lack of research that tackles the analytical aspect of this sport. These researches could help detect the variables that affect the nature of sport and their effective role in achieving results. Thus the researcher came up with two questions: 1. What are the skill variables that affect game play? 2. What are the percentages of success and failure of these variables? The research aimed at identifying the skill variables that affect game play of some participating leagues in Beijing Olympics.
