Move United Member Network Expanding

Move United is building a community where everyone’s included. Where people can compete, or play, or move. To shift the narrative and redefine what disability looks like, we must join forces.

From March 1 to September 1, 2020, forty (40) organizations have joined the Move United member network. Offering more than 50 adaptive sports to 100,000 youth and adults with disabilities across the country, the Move United member network now consists of over 170 programs in 43 states and the District of Columbia.

A number of these programs are part of the Move United Network as a result of the merger between Disabled Sports USA and Adaptive Sports USA to become Move United. Leveraging more than 110 years of combined adaptive sports experience between those two organizations, Move United will lead the movement to fully include people with disabilities in American society, using sport to challenge perceptions and redefine ability for youth and adults with disabilities.

This merger delivers a robust platform for growth, fostering expansion to more communities, with a goal to be locally available to 90% of the U.S. population by 2028, when the Olympics and Paralympics return to the U.S. Move United is the nation’s leading community-based adaptive sports organization and is an affiliate of the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee.
