Adaptive Sports Hall of Fame
About Adaptive Sports Hall of Fame
The National Adaptive Sports Hall of Fame is hosted and managed by Move United and is broken into two categories: Summer Sports and Winter Sports. The Hall of Fame was created to honor individuals who have made a significant impact in the field of adaptive sports as well as athletes who have excelled in sport.
The Hall of Fame pays homage to the longstanding tradition held previously by Adaptive Sports USA and Disabled Sports USA in honoring contributions made in both summer and winter sports. A total of four (4) individuals will be inducted into the Hall of Fame annually, including two athletes (one summer and one winter) and two contributors (one summer and one winter).
Award recipients for summer sports are announced at The Hartford Nationals, which takes place every summer in rotating locations. Award recipients for winter sports will be announced at The Hartford Ski Spectacular, an event held in Breckenridge, Colorado each December.
