Think sports and recreation aren’t for you? Think again!

Discover the empowerment and joy of adaptive sports and recreation at this FREE event.  You’ll enjoy finding new interests, learn how to return to recreation after injury, and connect with a supportive community.

Many thanks to all who joined us at our first annual Adaptive Recreation Showcase last year.  See videos of the event below.   

Adaptive recreation empowers people with disabilities to participate in sports and leisure activities through the use of modified equipment and rules.  This event provided unparalleled access to multiple adaptive activities at one time and in one place.  We watched live demonstrations and explored a wide variety of adaptive activities, including:

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