Stand up! Anything is possible…

AMP1 is the only organized team of amputees playing stand-up (versus wheelchair) basketball in the country.

Comprised of amputee athletes who connected via YouTube while seeking opportunities to play competitive stand-up basketball, AMP1 demonstrates that all you need is courage, motivation and heart to follow your dreams. With the help of high-tech prosthetics, the team has overcome lower limb amputations caused traumatic accidents, birth defects and cancer to go on and play able-bodied, non-amputee teams– and often win!

The team launched their inaugural national tour in 2011 with the help of sponsors Freedom Innovations and the P.L.A.Y. Foundation.  Stops in Dallas, New York, Washington D.C., Kansas City, Los Angeles, Detroit and Bethesda have garnered sold out games and a growing fan base.  AMP 1 has a mission to grow the team into an organized, national league.
