To wrap up Disability Pride Month, we'd like to take a moment to recognize the commitment of our Sportable athletes to finding joy and fulfillment not in spite of their disability, but because of it. Everybody's journey to Disability Pride looks different, but if there's one thing that our community all shares, it's the gumption to cycle, dance, dribble, play, and live unapologetically.

Whether it's advocating for disability rights or simply finding a new passion to enhance your life, our community defines what it means to live with pride and inclusion. 🫶

What we've been up to lately 🤩

MEET YOUR COACHES 🏀

Sportable's 2026 Youth Wheelchair Basketball Camp is just over a week away, and it's time to meet the coaches who will be guiding our athletes through this weekend of basketball fun!

WELCOME ANNIE RAE 🎉

We're so excited to welcome Annie Rae to the Sportable team! She joins us as Grants Manager, helping us expand access to adaptive sports and grow our impact. A ceramicist and Georgia native, Annie Rae brings years of grant writing experience and expertise to our organization. Welcome to the team!

To continue to celebrate Disability Pride Month, we want to shine a spotlight on our remarkable athletes finding strength, health, independence, and much more through their sports of choice. We often talk about the power of adaptive sports, but none of that would be possible without the power of our athletes, who we see pour their energy into their favorite sports week after week. Their commitment to wellness, fitness, and competition create this community that pushes every one of us to new heights.

Here's to our athletes. Your pride & passion create representation & belonging. 🧡

We're so excited to partner with Own Touch Central to support the growth of our CP Soccer programs and expand the accessibility of the beautiful game. By providing our program with practice space in their indoor soccer facility and serving as a sponsor of our upcoming CP Soccer Camp in August, Own Touch are helping Sportable strengthen the development and recreation of Richmond youth with ambulatory cerebral palsy, stroke, or traumatic brain injury. 🧡

This big news comes just in time for our CP Soccer Camp held this August 8th & 9th - an incredible opportunity for athletes of any skill level looking to go through drills, get small group coaching, and most importantly, have a ton of fun! Visit the link in our bio for more info!
