The Triumph Foundation will host the 5th Annual Wheelchair Sports Festival on Saturday, April 30, 2016 and Sunday, May 1, 2016 at the Santa Clarita Sports Complex, where they will feature 10 adapted recreational sports that are open to the general public to participate.
The adapted sports include wheelchair hockey, basketball, racquetball, baseball, quad rugby (a.k.a. murderball), hand cycling, adapted scuba, wheelchair skating, and a power wheelchair rodeo. There will also be a resource fair and art workshop.
Triumph Foundation hosts this free event to introduce wheelchair sports to people that are newly injured, veterans, children, and others with disabilities; as well as provide learning opportunities to the general public and showcase people living with physical impairment in a way that members of the community do not often see. The Wheelchair Sports Festival brings everyone together of all abilities – able body and disabled alike – to take part in a weekend of games and activities.
“This is Triumph’s major event of the year that gives people with disabilities a chance to push the limits of their ability, play games with their friends and family on a level playing ground, and enhance their quality of life through the benefits of exercise, sports and fitness,” said Andrew Skinner, the Triumph Foundation’s founder.
Skinner suffered a spinal cord injury in November 2004 in a snowboarding accident.
Join us to see how people with disabilities continue to stay active and live fulfilling lives.
