Sports, both competitive and recreational, teach life skills, promote confidence and develop leadership. Friendships are built, accomplishments are recognized, and people are supported to achieve their fullest potential.
Our Adaptive Sports Program serves youth and adults living with physical disabilities and supports opportunities for all levels of engagement from recreation to high levels of competition. Sport-specific skill training and development following the Paralympic model is offered year round, with seasonal competitions within and outside Connecticut.
