About Courage Kenny Wheelchair Basketball 
Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute has been a leader in wheelchair basketball for 40+ years, touching the lives of thousands of athletes over the years through competitive teams, recreational teams and hosting tournaments and other special events. Many of our athletes have gone on to play wheelchair basketball in college, professionally, and even in the Paralympics on Team USA! The wheelchair basketball program serves 60 athletes (40+ youth) over six 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 enhances participants’ independence, improvesself-confidence and encourages 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.
