We are an all ages program for ages 13 and up and serve many different disabilities, although the majority of our players have either Cerebral Palsy (39%) or Muscular Dystrophy (29%). Probably the most important attribute of our league, however, is its “enabling” quality. Even the most severely disabled person can compete and contribute, in a positive and recognized way, to the success of their team.
