The Whole Person’s (TWP) Adaptive Sports Program is working with adaptive sports programs across the metro in order to provide diverse and inclusive play opportunities at competitive and recreational levels for people with disabilities living in the greater Kansas City area.
By working with participants to overcome physical and cognitive challenges in a supportive environment, TWP's programs show participants their possibilities and assists them to reach their fullest potential, enriching and transforming their lives through sport.
TWP feels that through adaptive sports, participants have the opportunity to meet positive role models, increase socialization skills, improve self-confidence, self-worth, physical fitness, decrease anxiety and depression, have less health risks, develop life-long skills and friendships.
Activities include:
- Time to Spare Accessible Bowling - Contact Meghan Schmidt, Blind/Low Vision Specialist
- Adaptive CrossFit & Para Powerlifting
- Adaptive Rock Climbing
- Adaptive Archery
- Adaptive Pickleball
- Tandem Bicycling
- Track and Field
- Boccia
