The Institute for Disability Studies offers a variety of year-round adaptive recreation and sports programming, including Quidditch, wheelchair basketball and tennis. Recently, two staff members, Sylvester Crosby and Robbie Sullivan, joined their Deep South Hurricanes teammates to represent Mississippi in the 2022 Wheelchair Softball World Series (WSWS) August 4-6 in Crestwood, Illinois.

Teams from around the nation and world participated in this year’s double elimination tournament. The Deep South Hurricanes finished 13th in the nation and Robbie Sullivan was recognized as Best Second Baseman for Division 2 at the World Series.
