Additionally, they must successfully complete mandatory onboarding training before interacting with our team of athletes. This approach ensures that our volunteers are well-prepared to share their love for the sport with the disability community in a supportive and effective manner.

We believe our programming provides a safe space for individuals of all ages to work on socialization, executive functioning and gross and fine motor skills. Due to shared space and safety concerns, ages 5+ are welcome to participate.
