Sports & Recreation

Participating in Adaptive Sports is a non-pharmacological approach to addressing some of the following issues:

  • Promoting adjustment to disability
  • Encourage independent living
  • Increase physical fitness & functioning
  • Increase balance & coordination
  • Decrease pain & reliance on pain medication
  • Increase self-esteem, self-confidence and self-awareness
  • Increase mood and decrease anxiety

Participating in Sports with other veterans with disabilities not only increases fundamental skills, ability and the opportunity for competition, it provides many social benefits such as increased participation with family, the community and other veterans.
