Paralympic Experience for youth athletes with physical or visual disabilities
This past weekend, Access Leisure hosted the 2010 Sacramento Paralympic Experience in conjunction with U.S. Paralympics, a division of the U.S. Olympic Committee.
The event was held California State University.
It introduced students with physical disabilities, ages 12-18, to Paralympic sports. In addition to hands-on participation in Track and Field, Goalball, Wheelchair Basketball and Handcycling, the students interacted with Paralympic athletes and coaches.
They strive to be able to compete in the 25th Annual A.C.T. Games this spring.
