Ability Programs (Special Needs)

 

🌟 Field of Dreams & Ability Sports

Where EVERYONE gets to play!

The Field of Dreams and Ability Sports remove the barriers that often keep children and adults with physical or mental disabilities from participating in sports. Here, athletes of all abilities can enjoy the thrill of America’s favorite pastimes — with no limits.

Participants play on a rubberized turf field that accommodates wheelchairs and other assistive devices, while also helping to prevent injuries.

But it’s more than just the game…
❤️ It's about making friends,
💪 building self-esteem,
🧠 gaining independence, and
🏅 being treated like every other athlete.

Ages 5 to 70+ are welcome to participate!
