Adaptive Sports

Adaptive sports are modified athletic activities designed to be accessible for individuals with disabilities. These sports enable athletes with physical, sensory, or intellectual impairments to participate competitively or recreationally. They can involve specialized equipment or modified rules to accommodate various abilities. Examples include wheelchair basketball, para-cycling, and blind soccer. The goal of adaptive sports is to promote inclusion, physical fitness, and personal achievement, allowing participants to experience the joy of sports while fostering community and camaraderie among athletes of all backgrounds.
