About Courage Kenny Wheelchair Basketball

Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute has been a leader in wheelchair basketball for 30+ years, touching the lives of thousands of athletes over the years through competitive teams, recreational teams and hosting tournaments and other special events. The wheelchair basketball program serves 60 athletes (40+ youth) over five competitive teams, with the support of 15 volunteer coaches. Wheelchair Basketball is for athletes with permanent lower-body extremity impairment or disability. Many athletes do not use a wheelchair full-time. Participating in sports enhance participants’ independence, improve self-confidence and encourage an active, healthy lifestyle. To reduce barriers and increase access to wheelchair basketball we provide adaptive equipment, scholarships, and skilled volunteers. We also host a number of special events and tournaments that provide unique opportunities to learn and experience adaptive sports and recreation.
