  • wheelchair basketball,
  • wheelchair rugby,
  • wheelchair fencing,
  • handcycling,
  • track and field,
  • archery,
  • fishing, and much more.

Meet experienced athletes, try out adaptive equipment, and engage in a fun and inclusive atmosphere designed for everyone. Whether you’re eager to get active, explore new interests, or connect with a supportive community, this is your opportunity to unlock the possibilities!

Ample, free parking is available in an adjacent parking garage. Need transportation? Let us know when you register. We may be able to help people in the Louisville area.
