Adaptive sports and recreation

Adaptive sports offer barrier-free opportunities for you to explore new skills or hone your competitive edge in a new sport or one you already enjoy. The advantages of sports and recreational activities are well-documented. See our outcomes for more information.

Note to veterans

If you are an injured veteran with a disability and are looking to stay active and rediscover sports and recreational activities, Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute Sports & Recreation is looking for you! We have lots of adaptive sports and recreation programs that need your participation. Call our program hotline for more information: 612-775-2277.
