HIGH SCHOOL STADIUM DETAILS

The first competitive field for wheelchair softball in the state of

Minnesota can be found in Brooklyn Park. Through a grant from the

Pepsi Refresh Project, the field was built after beating out 14 other

MLB teams (Go Twins!) to win the grant. The Courage Center, who

empowers people with disabilities to realize their full potential in

every aspect of life, was the Minnesota Twins charity partner for the

grant and will continue to manage the two teams playing on the

field, the Rolling Twins and the Jr. Rolling Twins. The field is located in

Northwoods Park.
