The tournament is not just about competition; it's about community and inclusion, as it will feature many military veterans, who have discovered new life and passion through adaptive sports. The DK3, powered by Fly Without Limits, will also welcome Paralympian athletes from both the Men's and Women's national teams, who will be representing Team USA at the upcoming Paris 2024 games.

"We're thrilled to bring together a diverse mix of skill levels, experiences, genders, and abilities on the Venice Beach courts," said Matt Scott, Paralympic Gold Medalist and Executive Director of Fly Without Limits. "This tournament is more than just about sports; it's about breaking barriers and showcasing the power of inclusivity."

The inaugural wheelchair tournament is supported by presenting sponsor Google Pixel. The partnership signifies a growing recognition of the importance of adaptive sports. It also highlights the value of inclusivity and diversity within the sports community. According to Matt Scott:

"Fly Without Limits and the DK3 community are grateful to be partnering with Google Pixel. It not only speaks volumes to their core values but sends a valuable message to society that adaptive sports are on the rise."

In a display of unity across the basketball world, Fly Without Limits has partnered with the legendary Hoop Bus to elevate the streetball element of the tournament. This collaboration emphasizes the broad support for the event, extending beyond the adaptive community.

The Fly Without Limits 3x3 wheelchair basketball tournament promises to be an unforgettable celebration of athleticism, inclusivity, and unity. Join us at the Venice Beach courts on May 11th and 12th to witness history in the making.
