SDSU Adapted Athletics

That’s a wrap on SDSU Adapted Athletics Challenge Week!

This week, we hosted Para Track & Field and Wheelchair Tennis clinics, giving the SDSU community the chance to try out adapted sports alongside our athletes and coaches! To close out the week, we held our annual Bowling Social, bringing together our athletes and several of our supporting organizations across campus for an evening of community building.

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make Challenge Week a success!

Today, we celebrate International Olympic & Paralympic Day!

For athletes around the world, the Olympic and Paralympic Games represent the highest level of competition. At SDSU Adapted Athletics, that dream feels closer than ever.

This year, members of our program earned Team USA opportunities, represented the United States on the international stage, and continued building toward future Paralympic competition. With LA28 on the horizon, we’re proud to be the closest collegiate adapted athletics program to the Olympic & Paralympic Games and excited to support the next generation of athletes chasing those dreams.

Here’s to the athletes, coaches, supporters, and communities who make sports a powerful force for inclusion, opportunity, and excellence!

Congratulations to Edgar, Andrew, Khristian, and Coach Greg on an incredible weekend at the USTA Southern California Wheelchair Sectionals Championships!

Edgar and Andrew both put together strong runs in the Open Singles division, ultimately facing off in the final where Edgar came out on top. Edgar also teamed up with Coach Greg in Open Doubles, finishing third after a strong showing.

Khristian had a standout weekend as well, going undefeated to win the B Division Singles title and earning a championship in A Division Doubles alongside his partner.

Proud of the continued success and competitive drive from our athletes on the court!

Today we’re proud to celebrate the first ever National Adaptive Sport Day!

Sports have the power to bring people together, break barriers, and create opportunities that extend far beyond competition. At SDSU Adapted Athletics, we see that impact every day through our athletes, coaches, and community.

April 28th marks the anniversary of the regulations enforcing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, marking a major step forward for inclusion and access in sports and beyond. Nearly 1 in 4 Americans live with a disability, highlighting the importance of representation through inclusive sports. Today is about continuing to build a more inclusive future where everyone has the opportunity to compete, belong, and thrive.

Join us in celebrating the adapted sports community and the movement toward greater inclusion.
