Pupils got into the spirit of things quickly, learning it isn't as easy as it looks.

Zac McDonald described it was "awesome" and Kacey Toupas said it was "really fun" but said she would prefer to play the conventional way.

However, the roadshow wasn't just about giving students a chance to try a wheelchair sport.

"It's aimed at getting a message out to young people who are going out on the roads," Wheelchair Sports NSW ambassador John Wade said.

Often run in conjunction with driver education programs in high schools, Mr Wade said the program had also been welcomed by primary school students.

Mr Wade said it focused on people's choices once they were behind the wheel, wearing seat belts or even when riding bikes, skateboards and scooters and some of the consequences which could result.

"Getting out of the chair is the best part of the day," he said.

"Basketball is a bit of fun ... it's about encouraging disabled children to get involved in wheelchair sports."

Mr Wade said wheelchair spots were often free for children or free for the first year.
