Amputees compete in wheelchair basketball and volleyball, and swimming. They also compete in track events with prosthetics... There are probably more, but that's what I know off the top of my head. You can compete in practically anything as an amputee, in a wheelchair or with CP.

I volunteer my time building and fixing power wheelchair equipment for a sport called Power Soccer as part of a non-profit organization. I have had some luck finding used and donated sources for some parts, except for batteries. Wheelchair batteries are vital to compete in this sport, and a new set of batteries costs about $300. Are there any companies or organizations out there that would help?
I know precisely which batteries are correct, and I normally buy them online. I can't find any local stores willing to give away or significantly discount their most expensive batteries. Any other ideas would be very welcome!

Typical wheelchair batteries are basically just deep-discharge batteries in a few common sizes. Talk to local battery stores and see if they can help.

I am a boy getting my first basketball wheelchair and need good ideas on colours for it?

I always like the sleek, clean lines of a brushed metal finish with black accessories. That way the chair looks cool but you are the attention grabber. You can always get accessories to match, the chair finish is hard to damage (doesn't chip and hard to scratch) and it will go with whatever colour your sport kit is.

If you're in the United States, then see if there's a Community Action Agency near you. If they can't help, they might be able to help you find the right agency to help.
