Narrative

Spaulding Adaptive Sports Centers support individuals of all abilities in leading active, healthy lives through participation in adaptive sports and recreational activities. Adaptive Sports Centers in: Boston, Salem and Cape Cod - Offer spot activity in MA, NH, VT, ME, RI, UT and CO.  Our newest service is an array of live virtual fitness and yoga programming. 

Spaulding opened its first Adaptive Sports programs in Boston and on Cape Cod in 2001, and since that time has expanded to include the North Shore. These three sites offer a wide range of land and water based adaptive sporting activities that focus on the value of sports and fitness.

At these Centers, participants living with disabilities play wheelchair tennis, hand cycle, kayak or paddle in adaptive boats, mountain bike, play sled hockey and engage in a number of other activities through which they learn new life skills, make new friends and enjoy themselves as they rebuild their strength, gain a sense of independence and self-confidence.  Want to be part of a competitive team?  We have both adult and youth sled hockey teams looking for players.

The programs are delivered under the supervision of Spaulding clinicians and adaptive sports professionals, and are open to children and adults.  Staff members help each participant find the most appropriate activities to meet their capabilities and help them Find Their Strength.
