What it is
Wheelchair softball is similar to standard softball, but altered rules accommodate the use of wheelchairs and players with varying ability levels. It is played on a hard-surface instead of grass so players have an easier time pushing from base to base.
Who it is for
Teams are available for both male and female players, ages 6 and up. To participate you must have a disability that affects your lower extremities. This can include, but is not limited to, amputation, spinal cord injury, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, and leg length discrepancy among other conditions. You do not need to be an every day wheelchair user to play wheelchair sports. Please ask our program coordinator for more information on if you would qualify to play.
No prior softball experience is needed.
Good to know
All equipment is provided.
No participant will be turned away due to financial hardships. Cost sharing and scholarships are available upon request.
