Sports and Recreation 

The philosophy of this program emphasizes: "Sports by Ability, Not Disability".  The program is based upon a philosophy that the act of competition is essential to the total development of any person and that involvement in individual and team events can teach a person humility and pride and instill a sense of self worth and respect for others.
