Wheelchair softball was established 30 years ago and is a great way for adaptive athletes to enjoy America's greatest pastime. Wheelchair Softball is very similar to abled bodied softball with the exceptions of playing with a 16 inch inseam ball, and playing on a hard surface. Most field coatings are similar to a tennis court, or parking lots can be adapted using temporary fencing. It is especially fun to watch, as players have to not only maneuver themselves but also catch, throw, and bat using their hands simultaneously. Most players do not wear gloves, as it impedes a player's ability to move as quickly.
