Grand Rapids Wheelchair Sports

The Grand Rapids Wheelchair Sports Association (GRWSA) is a nonprofit organization designed to help children and adults whose various physical challenges require them to use a wheelchair to play competitive and recreational sports. Over the years, the GRWSA has helped thousands of youths and adults participate in nearly every sport imaginable - from hockey to rock climbing to water-skiing and much more. The GRWSA also supports a nationally ranked traveling wheelchair tennis team, hosts an internationally sanctioned tennis tournament, sponsors the nationally ranked Grand Rapids Pacers wheelchair basketball team, co-sponsors the Jr. Pacers youth basketball team, sponsors the hand-cycling team, road racing team and water ski clinic.
