U.S. Paralympics is partnering with community organizations from across the country to create a network of Paralympic Sport Clubs.

Paralympic Sport Clubs are community-based programs developed to involve youth and adults with physical and visual disabilities in sports and physical activity, regardless of skill level.  All programs and activities will be based in the community and are run by the local organization.

With 21 million physically disabled Americans, including thousands of military personnel who’ve sustained serious injuries while on active duty, this is an important community need.

This partnership enables Community Rowing Inc to participate in a multitude of events with the Paralympic Team network.  CRI is eligible to host a Paralympic Experience Event, select an athlete and coach to participate in each National Paralympic Experience held throughout the United States, a scholarship for a PSC coach or executive to attend Olympic University Paralympic Conferences held by the USOC, and participation in USOC Paralympic Military Programs.
