Two-time Paralympic gold medalist Trevon “Trey” Jenifer served as guest coach at Sportable’s Wheelchair Basketball Camp last weekend.

The camp, held Aug. 3-4 at Randolph Macon College’s Brock Sports & Recreation Center, was designed for junior athletes ages 5 through high school with permanent lower limb impairments.

Hunter Leemon, Sportable CEO, said, “Hosting a Paralympian of Trey’s caliber in Richmond just a few weeks before he competes with Team USA in Paris was a tremendous opportunity.”

Jenifer joined Sportable coaches for the two-day preseason camp, which included over 30 youth wheelchair basketball players from six states. The camp focused on skill development, teamwork and sportsmanship in preparation for the upcoming National Wheelchair Basketball Association season.

Born without legs due to congenital phocomelia, Jenifer began playing wheelchair basketball at age 4 near Washington, D.C. He later excelled in track and high school wrestling before returning to basketball in college.

A two-time All-American at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, Jenifer made his Team USA debut in 2010. He won bronze in London 2012 and gold in Rio 2016 and in Tokyo 2020. In 2022, he helped the U.S. team win the World Championship in Dubai. Jenifer, 35, lives in Fairfax with his two children.

He works as a personnel security specialist for the U.S. Secret Service.
