what does it mean to be a Paralympic Sports Club?
Seattle Adaptive Sports is recognized by the US Olympic/Paralympic Committee as a
Paralympic Sports Club. Our organization follows the Paralympic values, which include
courage, determination, inspiration and equality. For more information about the US Paralympics, visit http://www.teamusa.org/US-Paralympics
Seattle Adaptive Sports' programs are designed for individuals with a permanent physical disability that precludes them from participating in traditional sports and athletics without modifications. Physical disabilities could include amputation, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, joint damage, severe scoliosis, spina bifida, transverse myelitis, traumatic brain injury, and other congenital or acquired conditions that affect mobility.
Programs offered include competitive league sports, recreational team sports, instructional camps, sports clinics, and other adaptive awareness events based on need and interest. Like many adaptive sports organizations and Paralympic Clubs, we rely on a robust volunteer and donor base to keep our programs strong!
Wheelchair Basketball season runs September-April, with opportunities to play in regional and national tournaments across the USA. Athletes are assigned a division based on their age and/or skill-level. An annual wheelchair basketball clinic offers drills and skill development for all ages and skill levels.
