Help Adaptive Athletes Thrive!

A.D.A.P.T. Athletics

We are ADAPT - Advocates for Disabled Athletic Performance Training.
And we’re on a mission to redefine what’s possible for adaptive athletes.

Fitness provides profound benefits in terms of mind, body, and spirit, and these benefits carry over to our confidence, careers, and relationships.  For those with disabilities, accessing the resources needed to get a quality workout is easier said than done; but we believe everyone should have the opportunity to exercise and live a healthy lifestyle.

Our mission is to build a free of charge fitness program for adaptive athletes, but we need your help to make it happen!




WHY YOU SHOULD HELP:
In Oklahoma alone, there are over 500,000 individuals living with disabilities. Help us build a community where adaptive athletes have the opportunity to exercise, foster their talents, and grow as individuals. 

We want ADAPT Athletics to be the bridge of support that helps adaptive athletes reach their goals. With your support, we can provide an inclusive and barrier-free environment that allows adaptive athletes to lead long, healthy, and active lifestyles.


OUR TRAINING INITIATIVE:
We are currently in the early stages of creating and starting this program. But it hasn’t taken long to see just how much time, effort, and money is going to be required!

We are aiming to ensure we have enough qualified coaches readily available to provide assistance.  Each adaptive athlete requires 1-2 dedicated coaches during a workout depending on level and type of injury. Having an adequate coach to athlete ratio will allow us to provide the best and safest training possible.

Which brings us to...


OUR 1ST FUNDING GOAL:
We hope to raise $2,800 to cover the costs of travel and registration fees for 5 coaches to attend Crossfit’s Adaptive Training seminar in Dallas.

The methodology behind fitness programming for adaptive athletes requires specialized knowledge. This training will provide us with the tools necessary to tailor programs for athletes of all ages and disabilities and formulate a plan to reach each individual’s specific goals.


OUR 2ND FUNDING GOAL:

We are in need of an additional $4,700 to cover the costs of specialized equipment and organizational expenditures to get our program off the ground and headed in the right direction.

Initiatives will vary case by case and may range from individualized physical therapy to integrating athletes into able-bodied group classes. Whether our athletes have short- or long-term goals, are recovering from a temporary injury, or are adapting to a permanent one, we want to be able to accommodate all cases.


HOW YOU CAN HELP:
To recap, here are our donation goals:

-Goal #1) Raise $2,800 to cover the costs of travel and registration fees 5 coaches to attend Crossfit’s Adaptive Training seminar in Dallas.

-Goal #2) Raise $4,700 to cover the costs of specialized equipment and organizational expenses to get our program off the ground.

You can also help by SHARING our GoFundMe with friends and family. Everyone deserves the ability to exercise. But to make it happen, we’ll need everyone’s help!  

So please, spread the word and help make this dream a reality!
