Peter Berry (pictured) is starting a new chapter in his basketball story with Hannover United. The US men’s national wheelchair basketball player, 2024 Paralympian, and former University of Alabama player is headed to Europe to compete with the Division II European team. He signed a one-year contract and will look to extend his stay beyond that. It is an exciting time for Hannover United as they aim to be promoted to the first league or the Champions League. Peter, a 2020 graduate of Emery/Weiner, says he is looking forward to meeting teammates from around Germany, and the world, and compete alongside them as they grow together on and off the court. Read more about Peter and his basketball journey in Peter Berry: A star from the start by Andria Dilling (March 2024).
