Chapter

Bridge II Sports

Bridge II Sports creates opportunities for youth, adults, and Veterans with physical disabilities to ‘Find The Player Within’ through the power of adapted sports.

 

We believe sport empowers and changes lives on and off the court and challenges perceptions of disability in our community.

 

We are proud to provide year-round adapted sports programming and special events like Valor Games Southeast, August Madness and Paddle!Lake Crabtree that bring together our athletes and the community.

 

We recognize the value and potential of all lives. Disability does not define people or outcomes.

 

Our Vision
By creating opportunities Bridge II Sports develops a culture of empowerment that fosters respect for all abilities and has a life changing impact on all humanity.

 

Our Mission
Bridge II Sports educates, develops and implements opportunities for youth, adults, and Veterans with physical disabilities to play individual, team and recreational sports, finding the player within.

 

Our Core Principles
We are about people development; Sport is the tool used to build: Confidence, Self-control, Independence, and Expectation of Ability.

 

Each person is an individual; each disability is different.

 

We respect those differences and work with each person as an individual.

 

As experts, we create safety for those at risk to try.

 

There is a sport for everybody, we provide the space to enjoy the journey of discovery.

 

We are a community where everybody belongs.

Golf

“That’s what makes golf so great. It’s a handicap system. If I’m playing against a guy who’s got all his limbs and he’s got a 14 handicap, I’ve got to give him seven strokes. Golf is such an equal game because of the handicap system. That’s what makes it fun for people everywhere to play.”…
