Description

The Wisconsin Adaptive Sports Association is a nonprofit serving athletes with disabilities across Wisconsin, and its adaptive pickleball program page lays out how the sport is opened to players with physical, sensory, or intellectual disabilities. Per the association, adaptive pickleball follows traditional rules with modifications: wheelchair players get two bounces, visually impaired players can use sound emitting balls and tactile court markings, players with limited grip can use paddles with special handles, and pace and format adjust to players’ abilities. Sport wheelchairs designed for agility serve wheelchair participants. The association welcomes players of all ages and skill levels into the program alongside its broader adaptive sports lineup.
