On May 26th we had the privilege of hosting US Paralympics athletes and coaches for a track and field clinic. They worked one on one with athletes to improve their throwing and racing skills. It was a tremendous day and hopefully the first of many collaborations.

On Thursday June 7th the wheelchair basketball team traveled to the Valley Junction Farmer's Market to play their regular game. Ed Wilson from Channel 13 came out to broadcast the weather and to play basketball with the team. It was a lot of fun! Channel 13 has been a great friend to Adaptive Sports Iowa in their coverage of various programs and activities. Below are some photos from that evening or you can watch the broadcast HERE.
