Adaptive Club

Nevada Paralyzed Veterans of America

Encouraging our members to stay active through sports and recreation continues to be one of the primary objectives of our chapter. Our members actively participate in a variety of local sports and recreation programs in Las Vegas.

Some of the programs include wheelchair tennis, wheelchair over-the-line, power soccer, quad rugby,and one day boating and fishing. We also send our members to national sporting events, such as the PVA National Trapshoot Circuit, National Bass Trail, and the National Veterans Wheelchair Games.

We hope that our sports and recreation programs will encourage all of our members to lead full and active lives, no matter what their interests might be.
