Purpose. Research objective: to determine the effectiveness of shots at the basket by wheelchair basketball teams during the All-Ukrainian tournament "Cup of Titans 2025". Material and Methods. The research material consisted of official statistical data on the performance of six teams. A total of 10 matches were analyzed (6 group-stage games and 4 final-stage games) held within the framework of the national tournament «Titans Cup 2025». Results. Group stage: Group A – Titans-Lviv 86:21 (+65), Invictus 14:44 (–30), Kyiv Lions 24:59 (–35); Group B – Kharkiv-Basket 123:24 (+99), Tytanovi 26:78 (–52), Odesa-Basket 30:77 (–47). Final stage: Kharkiv-Basket 110:27 (+83), Titans-Lviv 53:57 (–4), Tytanovi 26:41 (–15), Invictus 15:79 (–64). Overall tournament results: Kharkiv-Basket 233:51 (+182), Titans-Lviv 139:78 (+61), Tytanovi 52:119 (–67), Invictus 29:82 (–53), Odesa-Basket 30:69 (–39), Kyiv Lions 24:59 (–35). Conclusions. The analysis of average indicators across all teams confirmed the clear leadership of «Kharkiv-Basket», which scored an average of 58,3 points per game while conceding only 12,8 (difference +45,5), demonstrating offensive stability and high defensive efficiency. The second position was taken by «Titans-Lviv» with an average of 34,8 points scored and 19,5 conceded per game (+15,3), showing strong opening and closing segments but instability in the middle of matches. The remaining teams finished the tournament with the following averages per game: «Tytanovi» – 13:29,8 (–16,8), «Invictus» – 7,3:20,5 (–13,3), «Kyiv Lions» – 12:29,5 (–17,5), «Odesa-Basket» – 15:34,5 (–19,5). These results indicate insufficient offensive effectiveness and weak defensive organization, which prevented them from achieving relative competitiveness with the leaders.
