Sports and recreation improves lives. Moreover, sport and recreation transcend
the traditional understanding of disability from helpless to hopeful, from
dire to possible, from sadness to enjoyment. Participating in a sport helps
a person physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally. For people with
disabilities, sports have benefits not only during rehabilitation but throughout
life. PVA's sports and recreation program promotes a range of activities,
with special emphasis on those activities that enhance lifetime health and
fitness.
| UPCOMING
EVENTS |
Did
you know that there are 21 million Americans
with a physical disability? Shockingly, less
than 10 percent of them participate in daily
physical activity. Nike and U.S. Paralympics
want to identify and increase the number
of persons with physical disabilities active
in sport by making them aware of Paralympic
organizations in their community.

We also support and
provide access to other non-physical recreational
pursuits such as backgammon, chess and card games(
electronic & board).
Our goal is provide our members with opportunity for involvement at whatever
level of physicality they prefer, from passive interaction to elite competitive
endeavor.
PVA also sponsors training camps for players and coaches; supports the development
of training videos and manuals; provides outdoor recreational opportunities,
such as learn-to-ski clinics; and supports the development of adaptive sports
technologies, from the monoski to hand-powered
cycles.
