Equipment Options
Technically, there are no equipment adaptations to start playing pickleball but a sports wheelchair will be more efficient and much safer. Sports wheelchair’s wheels are cambered which helps reduce the chair from tipping from side to side. A sports chair will also have wheelie bars that keep the chair from tipping backward.
Injury Level Considerations
Adaptive Pickleball is played in wheelchair format but can be played by a wide range of abilities. Unlike most wheelchair sports, there are no specific classifications leaving pickleball open to just about anyone.
Ease of Access
Pickleball courts can be found at public parks, recreation centers, and even backyards.
