About Us
Who Are We?
Athletes Unlimited is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing social, recreational and athletic outlets to people with disabilities. Our guiding philosophy is that life is not intended to be a spectator sport. Everyone, regardless of ability, can benefit from participating in sports. It continues to be Athletes Unlimited’s primary goal to provide these opportunities to as many physically challenged individuals as possible.
We firmly believe that everyone should know that individuals with disabilities, regardless of their physical limitations, possess the same basic needs and desires as those without disabilities. Together we can strive to eliminate societal barriers that limit an individuals potential to achieve.
What Do We Do?
We get together and play sports. Some of us play basketball. Others swim, play softball and tennis or practice weight lifting, martial arts and track and field events. The physical exercise builds our strength. The competition builds our character. The social interaction builds our confidence. All the while, we build hope. Hope that one day, every person with a disability will get out and play.
Because life was never intended to be a spectator sport.
