This national sports organization supports youth and programs at the grass roots level and believes in structuring events to serve the developmental and the elite athlete at all ages. The Les Autres group has the potential of forming the largest pool of athletes in para-sports. Parents and athletes need to be made aware of the recreational and competitive opportunities potentially available to the disabled athletes, and seek out these opportunities on both a local and national level. Most established programs offer activities for individuals who ambulate with or without assistive devices as well as for those who use a manual or electric chair. Participants can choose from various levels of programs to accommodate all ability and interest levels.
All programming is based upon the individuals ability level.
