Adaptive Sports and Fitness

The aim of the University of Michigan Adaptive Sports & Fitness program is to increase awareness about, knowledge of, access to, and participation in adaptive sports and fitness among people with and without disabilities.

Our vision is to lead the state of Michigan and the nation in adaptive sport and fitness.

To fulfill our vision, the Adaptive Sports & Fitness program strives to:

  1. Address barriers and create recreational and competitive opportunities for people with and without disabilities at the University of Michigan and in the greater Ann Arbor community to participate in adaptive sports and fitness.
  2. Advocate for institutional, structural, and policy change that supports equitable opportunities for people with disabilities to engage in physical activity that supports their physical, social, and mental wellness and overall quality of life.
  3. Lead projects, programs, and research that increase awareness about, knowledge of, access to, and participation in adaptive sports and fitness among people with and without disabilities at the University of Michigan, in the Ann Arbor community, and in the state of Michigan K-12 education system.
  4. Create equitable opportunities and programming at the University of Michigan through collaboration with Recreational Sports and Athletics that supports student-athletes with disabilities who seek to compete at varsity, national, and international level competitions, including the Paralympic Games.
  5. Collaborate with units, departments, programs, and schools across the University of Michigan to create new value, support cross-disciplinary initiatives that align with common goals, and promote adaptable talent management.
  6. Engage the student population and other student clubs and organizations at the University of Michigan through the Adaptive Sports and Fitness Student Group to promote awareness about, knowledge of, access to, and participation in adaptive sports and fitness among people with and without disabilities.
