Adaptive SPORTS

We have opportunities where anyone of any age can participate, make new friends and learn new skills! Our adaptive sports, leisure and recreation programs are led by trained volunteers—and offered at no cost, thanks to community support. Our programs include adaptive golf, wheelchair tennis and adaptive waterskiing. Other area organizations also offer a number of other sports and leisure opportunities.

CORONAVIRUS STATEMENT:

We will continue to review updates regarding COVID-19. Our hope is to continue to offer all of our programs in a safe way for both our consumers and our staff. Updates will be posted for any post-poned or altered activities.
