AccesSportAmerica's programs are designed to promote each person's highest physical and athletic potential while cultivating social and emotional well-being. We seek to create a community where differences are diminished, blurred and often erased. We emphasize the need to "train for life" and design programs to build a community of relationships that last a lifetime.

Executive Director Notes

  • How It All Started

    We’re coming into our 25th year in 2020. This is remarkable considering how this was built from nothing. I remember the first meeting of volunteers back in 1995. I had been adapting and teaching windsurfing to people with disabilities for about 10 years already. We just had really good media exposure with a Globe cover story about Josh and my windsurfing marathons and Dr. Tim Johnson’s great piece about our family on Good Morning America. All of the sudden, people were interested in helping us out and wanting to volunteer.  Read More

  • Seeing the most in Nike's newest athlete

    We are so pleased the Nike has signed Justin Gallegos as a sponsored athlete. He’s a terrific cross country runner and the first athlete living with cerebral palsy to be signed by them. This is exactly what we, in this community and AccesSportAmerica feel is long overdue. We believe in compelling athletes everywhere living with varying challenges and disabilities.  Read More

Featured Video: "Quest for the Cup"

A film made by Andrew Mudge. AccesSportAmerica produced this 11-minute film with our great friends at Zeno Mountain Farm. Every March at our Sports Camp in Jensen Beach, Florida, 32 people with a wide range of skills, abilities, and disabilities form four teams to compete for "The Cup." This intense training camp is now over 10 years in running.
