OREGON DISABILITY SPORTS

Oregon Disability Sports is a non-profit organization that empowers people with physical disabilities through sport and fitness. We serve as a resource for healthy physical activities for the physically disabled by providing support for competitive athletes striving for excellence and by promoting general fitness and providing outlets for recreation and competition. The purpose of those athletic opportunities is to teach and develop life skills (self confidence, socialization, independence, etc.) to people so that they can better participate in society.

Through sports, we are opening doors to healthy lifestyles.

Oregon Disability Sports (ODS) began 1971 as an effort to create an outlet or opportunity for people with disabilities in the Salem area to recreate and compete in athletics. Today, ODS offers programs in rugby, basketball, skiing and hand cycling; we loan equipment to athletes interested in trying sports; we grant scholarships to athletes to offset their training or traveling expenses; and we serve as an information resource for sports and fitness for people with physical disabilities.  We are located in Portland and primarily serve the metro area (including Vancouver, WA)-but we are looking to expand our influence  and resources across the state of Oregon and in SW Washington.
