The National Disabled Veterans Golf Clinic (NDVGC) is a week-long adaptive golf program that is presented by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and DAV (Disabled American Veterans).

Our organization runs a variety of wheelchair and adaptive sports for youth, adults, and Veterans: wheelchair lacrosse, stand-up adaptive lacrosse, adaptive curling, adaptive cycling, wheelchair football, wheelchair tennis, and more. GBAS is home to the Buffalo Wheelchair Football Team and the Buffalo Bandits Wheelchair Lacrosse teams. 

Rochester Accessible Adventures maintains a resource guide of accessible recreation, sports, and tourism opportunities. The list includes birding, basketball, fencing, lacrosse, pickleball, rugby, rock climbing, sled hockey, tennis, and more! These programs are not Veteran specific, but are a lot of fun.

At Rochester Community Inclusive Rowing (RCiR), our mission is to create a supportive, inclusive and fully accessible environment for Veterans and people with any challenge who want to come to the water and learn to row, at NO COST to them.

New program launching in 2027.

The National Veterans Wheelchair Games is the world’s largest annual wheelchair sports and rehabilitation event solely for military Veterans. The event demonstrates the unstoppable character of Veterans and seeks to foster wider respect and opportunities for all people with disabilities.

A partnership between the VA and DAV, the National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic is an adaptive skiing program that has helped many of our nation’s most profoundly disabled Veterans overcome obstacles and challenge their perceived limitations.
