The Courage Kenny Rolling Twins, in partnership with the Minnesota Twins of Major League Baseball, are managed and run by Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute. Courage Kenny offers an adult team for athletes ages 18+.

Good to know
Wheelchair softball is similar to standard softball, but altered rules accommodate the use of wheelchairs and players with varying ability levels. It is played on a hard surface instead of grass so players have an easier time pushing from base to base and uses a softer ball so players do not need a glove.
Participants must have a permanent lower extremity impairment to participate including, but not limited to amputee, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, and spina bifida.
Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute is excited to host the 2025 USA International Wheelchair Softball World Series (IWSWS) August 14-16, 2025 at Mall of America Fields in Bloomington, Minnesota. The Minnesota Rolling Twins, reigning 2024 National Champions, are eager to defend the National Title in their home state. Courage Kenny has enjoyed a long and successful history in wheelchair softball, boasting an impressive 22 National Championships over the years.
