I believe the politically correct description for this subject probably would be, "Athletically Challenged." No matter how you identify or define this subject, the fact remains that some either from birth or by misfortune of an accident, have had to learn to do even the most simple of tasks in the daily routine of survival, with limited capacity. Being what I consider a informed individual, I began researching the subject of, disabilities and sports, and how the two are related. I was mildly surprised when I started researching this to find the variety of sporting activities, available to those who, with a little time, a lot of hard work, and desire can excel at whatever level they want. Just to show how limited my knowledge was on this, the following activities were found at the web site link(s), listed at the bottom of this page. If you know someone who would like to have their story or bio added to one of the sports listed below, or a sport not listed, please e-mail me: vicky@footballmail.com Each individual sport listed below have additional links to their particular site location.

As you can see the list includes not only activities that normally require a great deal of physical skill, but,
those that most of us take for granted as being relaxing, (i.e., billiards, bowling, cricket and fishing),
just to name a few. Additionally, I discovered that there is a lot of information on the Internet about,
The Paralympics, The Special Olympics, a variety of meets, races and competitions that provide both
monetary, as well as non monetary awards.
If you are aware of or have access to any information on these or any other sports related activities,
