Adapted Sports Day: Welcome to Para Sports is a hands-on, inclusive event that introduces youth and adult participants to adapted and Paralympic sports in a welcoming and supportive environment.

In partnership with TIRR Memorial Hermann, Catapult, and the Tellepsen Family Downtown YMCA, this event gives individuals with physical disabilities the opportunity to try a variety of adapted sports, connect with local resources, and learn more about year-round opportunities.

This year’s event will feature sitting volleyball, wheelchair basketball, boccia, amputee walking and running, and walking and running with a guide clinic for blind and visually impaired participants. Additional activities include an educational session, keynote speeches, a resource exhibitor fair, and a clinic for adults on becoming a sighted guide for individuals who are blind or visually impaired.
