Our athletes Amy Conroy

Amy first tried wheelchair basketball at a local taster day after having her left leg amputated due to osteosarcoma. She became hooked on the sport after watching a senior game where she fell in love with the speed, competitiveness and aggression of the game.

Amy made her international debut at the 2010 BT Paralympic World Cup, and soon after would proudly make her Paralympic debut at London 2012. In 2016, Amy assisted the team to achieve the highest ever finish by a GB women’s team at the Rio Paralympic Games when they secured fourth place.

In August 2018, Amy and the GB Women’s team made history for British Wheelchair Basketball as the first female GB squad to secure a place in a World Championships final, bringing home the silver medal.

In addition to her senior international achievements, the Norwich native  co-captained the GB Women’s U25 Team with Laurie Williams to the title of 2015 U25 World Champions in Beijing, China.

Amy made history at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, winning bronze with Team England in the first ever appearance of wheelchair basketball in a Commonwealth Games.
