Paralympic Sport Club
The mission of our Integrated Sports Program for Veterans is to enable wounded/ill/injured veterans and service members with the resources and opportunities to pursue a healthy active lifestyle through participation in community adapted sport and recreation programs.
Through this program, we offer the following:
- Weekly adapted sports & recreation programs
- Access to specialized adapted equipment
- Information & referral system to local adapted sports programs
- In-services and “demo days” on adapted sports/equipment at local VA and military installations
- Referrals to the Paralympic pipeline who are interested in pursuing higher levels of training and competition

About Paralympic Sport Clubs
Since 2007, U.S. Paralympics, a division of the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC), has partnered with community organizations from across the country to create a network of Paralympic Sport Clubs. Paralympic Sport Clubs are community-based programs developed to involve youth and adults with physical and visual disabilities in sports and physical activity, regardless of skill level. All Paralympic Sport Club programs and activities are based in the community and are run by the local organization |
