Ability Programs (Special Needs)
Where Abilities Outweigh Disabilities
The Field of Dreams and Ability Sports removes the barriers that keep children and adults with mental and physical disabilities out of the games and lets them experience the joys of America's favorite pastimes. Participants play on rubberized turf field that accommodates wheelchairs and other assistive devices while helping to prevent injuries.
The Field of Dreams and Ability Sports are not just about the sport. It is about making new friends, building self-esteem, learning independence and being treated like any other athlete. Ages 5 - 70 and older are welcome to participate.
For more information on participating, volunteering or sponsorships, please contact June Dorough at (334) 558-1367 or jdorough@prattvilleymca.org
