Pennsylvania Center for Adapted Sports

Organizational Summary

Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of people with disabilities through inclusive sport, wellness and passive recreation programs.

PCAS currently operates 13 sport-and-wellness programs year-round, with a focus on building inclusive communities with barrier-free and supportive settings.

Our programs help participants build and maintain strength and function, improve emotional health, and develop lifelong friendships through engagement in sports and recreation in the community.

For all our participants, we provide equipment, venues, instruction, training, a team of peers and a capable group of encouraging volunteers. We offer children and adults a place where they can explore their abilities.

We especially strive to create opportunities for veterans and young athletes, including helping schools add adaptive sports programs and sustain a vibrant Para Sports culture.

PCAS offers consultation services to agencies and educational institutions, and serves as an advocate for adapted sports.
