The third annual Adapted Sports Day weekend will be held Oct. 30-31 at James Madison University, featuring sport and recreation opportunities designed for youth with disabilities.
Adapted Sports Day is an opportunity for middle school, high school and college-ready individuals with disabilities to develop soccer skills through clinic-like events and try out JMU’s UREC challenger ropes course using adaptive equipment while working and socializing one-on-one with college student mentors.
