Wheelchair athletics in the United States have been around since the mid 1950’s. This is when the National Wheelchair Athletic Association, now known as the Wheelchair & Ambulatory Sports, USA or WSUSA, organized. There are countless national and international leagues that promote wheelchair bound athletes and sports.

At HealthNorth, part of our mission is to help you live more fulfilling lives. So if you know of a team or athlete of interest, let us know, we would love to reach out!
