PROGRAMS

KEEP ON MOVING!


 

Keep On Moving! is a program designed to introduce and support continued involvement of individuals with physical disabilities in wheelchair sports, fitness and recreational opportunities, promoting an active and healthy lifestyle.

We introduce 4 wheelchair sports on the 1st and 3rd or just the 1st Wednesday of every month. The sports being introduced are:  wheelchair rugby, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair tennis and handcycling.  We have the athletes and equipment to give you a good introduction to these sports.

Fall/Winter months this clinic will be held in Beaverton, OR and only on the 1st Wednesday of the month (October-May).

Summer months this clinic is held in Portland, OR on the 1st & 3rd Wednesday of each month (June-Sept).


 

BASKETBALL
 

JUNIORS AND ADULTS!

We have partnered with Portland State University this year and from October-April we have open gym for basketball play for all ages on Saturdays from 10-1 pm.  This is at PSU's new student  recreation center.  We currently have a youth and adult team and we are always looking for more players!
Our adult team practices at Tualatin Hills Athletic Center Sundays from 2-5 pm.  Contact Trisha if you are interested in playing!

ANNUAL SPORTS BANQUET

Thanks to The Mulnomah Athletic Club, we will be hosting our Annual  Sports Banquet on Friday, November 5th, 2010 again this year.


ODS RESOURCE GUIDE
Our resource guide is used by people with disabilities, and by professionals who help people with disabilities, to find the sport/activity specific program that they are looking for.  This is an asset to the entire community.  We update it as often as we can and we are always looking to add new organizations onto it.
