Description
  • Wheelchair Softball was started in 1975 by a few individuals with spinal cord injuries and lower extremity impairments in the Midwest who still wanted to enjoy America's greatest pastime. In 1976, the National Wheelchair Softball Association (NWSA) was founded and serves as the governing body for wheelchair softball in the US. Teams throughout America compete on a regular basis and host several tournaments throughout the summer. Many teams have sought and found allegiance and sponsorship with their Major League Baseball (MLB) team counterparts, such as the Minnesota Rolling Twins, Colorado PVA Rockies, Chicago RIC Cubs, Boston NEastern Paralyzed Veterans Association Red Sox, and our very own New York Eastern Paralyzed Veterans Association Mets. All wear official MLB uniforms and compete with pride under their respective professional team's logo. The NWSA hosts a national wheelchair softball tournament annually.
