Who We Are

Our Vision

Our vision is to offer advanced sports training tailored to competitive athletes under the age of 21 with special needs to ensure they are not forced from competition because of lack of inclusion, lack of access to equipment, or lack of adaptive sports programming. Beyond the Spectrum Sports is a non-profit organization which aims to provide confidence-boosting athletic opportunities, rooted in acceptance, through mentoring, integrative camps, adaptive sports equipment and scholarships.

This all-inclusive approach allows student athletes with disabilities to develop new skill sets, increase self-care and independence, build discipline, and encourage higher standards of achievement so that they may participate in advanced sport competition.

For the athlete in all of us.

Our Mission

To provide athletic opportunities for student athletes with disabilities so that every athlete, regardless of condition, has equal access to competitive sports experiences.

It is incredible how one small idea can grow into something truly special. Beyond the Spectrum Sports is rooted in the belief that athletes with disabilities have the right to be fully included in every aspect of society, especially competitive sports opportunities. In response to this significant disparity, Beyond the Spectrum Sports was created to fulfill local, regional, and national needs by removing barriers and covering gaps in competitive opportunities so that athletes with disabilities can participate in all aspects of competitive sports and live full and independent lives.

At the core of Beyond the Spectrum Sports, *is the belief that participation in competitive sport is a positive and transformational experience. Athletics not only has the power to enhance the quality of life of an individual, but it can also be a tool for positive social change. Want to take part?
