- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Courage League Sports is excited to offer team sports designed for participants who are unable to go "full speed" due to a physical, cognitive or emotional challenge.
Each sport is a four week program that includes weekly practice along with game play on Saturday afternoons. The first half hour will consist of drill and station work, followed by a half hour of game play. Participants will be placed onto teams based on age and ability.
6-0N-6 SOCCER
Adaptive soccer that addresses the basic skills of kicking, passing, goaltending, and game play.
POWER SOCCER
An opportunity for those in wheelchairs or with physical disabilities to play soccer in a power chair.
PUSH SOCCER
Adapted for those that may need additional assistance operating their wheelchairs. Push soccer incorporates all of the fun of soccer, but with additional equipment adaptations and a buddy system for physical assistance.
More opportunities with Courage League Sports
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
