More about the program
Adaptive Sport of South Central Kentucky is the region’s premier athletic program in competitive and recreational Adapted Sports. The program provides opportunities for those with eligible disabilities to find their own success in the world of sport, while also educating the greater South Central Kentucky area on the various ways those with disabilities pursue recreation, leisure, and sport! Our program, currently offers wheelchair basketball, wheelchair tennis, and goalball.
Up-Down Tennis
Up-Down Tennis is an inclusive program, focused on facilitating the sport of tennis between both those with and without disabilities. As part of our adaptive sports program, the focus is on providing tennis opportunities to individuals with physical disabilities, but in an environment where everyone can play on the court together!”
WKU Adaptive Athletics
WKU Adapted Athletics will be kick starting on campus this fall semester 2021. This is a huge milestone for our local community program, as we continue to develop a strong pipeline of adaptive sport opportunities from youth through adulthood. The program has been established as a registered student organization and will be operated through the Campus Recreation and Wellness Department on campus. Wheelchair Tennis will be the first sport offered as part of the new sport club on campus. As mentioned previously, this program will be one of less than 30 collegiate programs across the entire country, so we are excited to roll it out.
