Adaptive Pickleball

Adaptive pickleball (or wheelchair pickleball) is a sport growing just as fast as standard pickleball. Although adaptive pickleball follows many of the same rules of pickleball, there are some rule variations that are specific to wheelchair pickleball games. The smaller court size and slower pace of the game compared to tennis allow for greater accessibility and adaptability for individuals with various physical and cognitive challenges.

One of the benefits of pickleball are that able-bodied individuals and people using mobility devices such as wheelchairs can play together, so ASNW athletes are encouraged to bring friends and family to engage in the sport together.

2024 is our inaugural season of Adaptive Pickleball thanks to support from Move United and The Hartford.
