Rebuilding the Lives of our Wounded Warriors Through Sports

What is our Wounded Warrior Program?
Our program provides year round sports programs for severely wounded service members from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflict and the Global War on Terrorism.

Forty-one years of experience has shown early intervention with active sports results in successful rehabilitation, leading to employment. The “Wounded Warriors” and their family members are provided these opportunities free of charge, including transportation, lodging, adaptive equipment and individualized instruction in over a dozen different winter and summer sports.

Why is this Program Important? “If I can do this, I can do anything!”
These soldiers, airmen and marines are going through a very difficult time. They are warriors, athletes with the majority in their twenties. This sudden, traumatic change in physical ability makes service members vulnerable to psychological and emotional, as well as physical trauma; which severely impacts them and their families.

What they need is action NOW that will show them the promise of a bright and active future. Sport provides this. With the proper adaptive equipment and trained instructors, they can successfully learn a sport - almost any sport—in ONE day. This immediate success provides a foundation for the development of a positive self-image and outlook on life. This transformation is a key factor in leading an independent, full and productive life.

Our Sports Camps For Wounded Warriors
Disabled Sports USA Far West conducts a winter sports camp as a part of our Ability Celebration annually in March at Alpine Meadows. Our summer sports camp in Sacramento is a part of our annual June event, “Their Spirit Inspires.”
