What families say
“Adaptive Sports Northwest has been a life saver for me. Being able to participate in sports among others with various disabilities creates a fun, engaging family to compete with and makes me feel like a part of something bigger. Without ASNW, I wouldn’t have been able to play these sports in the same fashion, or meet all of the amazing staff and athletes.” — Kahlial L.
