Programs
Our
High-Challenge Sports
specializes in windsurfing, kayaking, rowing/sculling, outrigger canoeing, surfing, water-skiing, kite sailing as well as rock/wall climbing, tennis, cycling and soccer. Programs are designed to promote each person's highest physical and athletic potential while cultivating social and emotional well-being. The exhilaration inherent to each sport is just a part of the experience which fosters positive change in function and fitness as well as attitude and expectation for a life lived with a disability. Athletes, through individually developed programs, experience a series of unparalleled accomplishments through mastery of balance, coordination and fear. Over 1500 athletes participate annually year round in Massachusetts.
Nationally recognized, we create and develop innovative
Adaptive Equipment
to successfully adapt to all abilities. We adapt sports that the most agile of athletes find challenging and bring these sports to children and adults with disabilities.
Year-round
Function+Fitness
backed by physicians, physical and occupational therapists and fitness professionals, builds and capitalizes on newly discovered capabilities and strengths revealed while participating in our High-Challenge Sports program. Qualified Instructors and Trainers offer both personal training in health clubs and conditioning with sports activity including soccer and tennis to improve the athlete's health, lifestyle and physical fitness as well as athletic performance.
City Street
our year round, in school program in partnership with the Boston Public Schools for youth living with disabilities. During the summer, many of our students/athletes participate as campers at Camp Harbor View.
Sport Camps, one-two week intensive programs in partnership with Zeno Mountain Farm, are annually held in California (Venice Beach), Florida (Jensen Beach), Massachusetts (Nantucket), and Vermont (Lincoln). AccesSport Athletes and instructors participate with newer Athletes and Instructors from the local community.
Programs are designed to build a community of relationships that last a lifetime. AccesSportAmerica creates a community where differences are diminished, blurred and often erased.
"...I feel liberated, being propelled where I wanted to go...It's a really great feeling being out of my wheelchair doing something that many would consider to be impossible for a person with a disability to accomplish..." - AccesSportAmerica Athlete
