Bloomington to Host 2025 USA Wheelchair Softball International World Series

The 2025 USA Wheelchair Softball International World Series will be held at Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, from August 14–16.

The event, hosted by the Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute, will bring more than 300 athletes and their families to Minnesota for the international competition. The USA Wheelchair Softball International World Series will take place across five softball diamonds created especially for the tournament in the mall’s North Lot.

“Bloomington Minnesota Travel and Tourism is thrilled to partner with the Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute to host the 2025 USA Wheelchair Softball International World Series at Mall of America,” said Todd Lehrke, destination sales director at Bloomington Minnesota Travel & Tourism. “Our strong partnership with Courage Kenny has allowed us to host several high-impact events over the past decade, and we can’t wait to welcome these amazing athletes to Bloomington this coming August.”

Wheelchair softball is played on a hard surface with a 16-inch ball to allow players to maintain control of their wheelchair without using a glove. Players with mobility impairments have competed in the sport for over 50 years.

The World Series is part of a broader push for adaptive sporting events developed by Bloomington Minnesota Travel & Tourism. Over the past 10 years, Bloomington has hosted events such as the Courage Kenny Classic Wheelchair Basketball Tournament, the United States Power Soccer Association Presidents Cup Conference Championships and the Adaptive Sports USA Games.
