Adaptive Action Sports

We provide Action Sports recreation programs and high level snowboard training for youth, young adults and wounded veterans living with permanent physical disabilities.

Skateboarding and Snowboarding are the sports and skills we teach and use to enrich the quality of lives of the participating individual.

We provide fun, healthy exercise, skate- and snowboard skill-development, camaraderie and esteem- building activities to adaptive individuals.

Provide state-of-the-art action sports skills training by AAS’ certified instructors who have experience working with all ages and all skill levels.

Raise awareness of skate- and snowboarding as challenging and rewarding sports for adaptive riders.

Increase the level of expectation and respect for the abilities and potential of adaptive individuals.

Provide programs for riders whose goals are to increasingly enjoy recreational riding through the development of their skill sets.

We also Introduce the AAS pipeline to riders of all abilities and scout for – and train — those with interest and potential to (a) become part of our Skate Demonstration Team or (b) compete for a spot on the US National Parasnowboard Team.

AAS programs and events enrich the lives of participants and spectators while demonstrating that “disabled” individuals can “live beyond limits.”

The impact is attitudinal change for both the adaptive and general populations. AAS athletes become mentors & role-models supporting new athletes along the way.

Spectators and athletes alike leave AAS events and programs, feeling as if they too can LIVE BEYOND LIMITS.
