Junior Team and Programs

The NWSA is teaming up with various organizations to develop wheelchair softball teams and programs for children with physical disabilities. The NWSA is currently seeking individuals to help build this fledgling program. Our ultimate goal is to help foster a program that provides the same confidence and team-building techniques for children with disabilities that their able-bodied counterparts enjoy through the participation of school-sponsored team sports. For more info see Juniors Teams and Programs. For pictures see 2008 Juniors Division Tournament.

If you have an interest to help promote a program for children in your area, please contact us.
