Recreation for Veterans with Disabilities

Paralyzed Veterans of America's (PVA) Sports and Recreation Program promotes a range of activities for our members and other veterans with disabilities, with special emphasis on activities that enhance lifetime health and fitness.  PVA is a direct or supporting sponsor of national competitions and training programs for every major wheelchair sport in the United States, including: Archery, Basketball, Bass fishing, Billiards, Bowling, Quad rugby, Softball, Swimming, Snow skiing, Tennis, Track and field, and Trapshooting.

PVA presents, with the Department of Veterans Affairs, the nation's largest annual wheelchair sports event--the National Veterans Wheelchair Games. The National Veterans Wheelchair Games brings together more than 500 novice and experienced athletes for a week of competition in 17 events.

Mid-Atlantic members can participate in chapter events, social and sports, and receive a quarterly newsletter, as well as the national newsletter.
