Athletic Program for Individuals with Disabilities
What is S.A.N.D?
Those with cognitive or physical impairments face many barriers when it comes to participating in competitive sports. SAND is an athletic program created to give children and adults with disabilities the opportunity to experience a sport many may not have the opportunity to participate in.
Because SAND is brand NEW to this area, this will be an evolving program- learning as we go. Since there will be a wide range of disabilities as well as ages (4-adult), we will be able to develop this program more and more as time goes on. It is through PARENT and COMMUNITY Participation, that this program will become what we envision in the future.
SAND will concentrate on one sport, one season at a time. Based on ability levels, SAND participants will learn the skills necessary to play the sport. Each season will end with a FUN filled game and family picnic.
Who is Eligible?
S.A.N.D welcomes any person, Pre-K through Adult, who has a disability or a special need. Siblings are encouraged to participate as well. Siblings over the age of 8 are welcome to participate as a “peer-buddy” for a special player. Younger siblings are invited to participate as a SAND player. A separate registration form is required for each participant in your family.
