Friday, February 24th will feature various adaptive sports demonstrations such as quad rugby, wheelchair basketball, and fencing. We will also be providing visitors with an opportunity to try our adaptive programs! See below for a schedule of adaptive recreation demonstrations. Closing out that day, NCAA wrestling champion and motivational speaker, Anthony Robles, will be here to talk about his life experience as an athlete with a disability.
Coinciding with the grand opening weekend events, the SpoFit will also be hosting the West Coast Conference Wheelchair Basketball Championship! In addition, staff will be on hand all weekend to answer your questions about the facility and the services we offer.
