A great variety of programs for all

Specialized Exercise Programs, Para Sports, and Adaptive Recreation programs provide all necessary equipment and coaching. Inclusion programs are open to all in the greater Coulee Region. Scholarships are available—no one will be denied participation due to lack of funding. All programs are open to all ages and are co-educational. Veterans participate for free.

Not sure if a program is a good fit for you? Try it for a day for FREE! Dare to try something new. We offer a money back guarantee. If we can not adapt an activity so you can participate, we will refund your registration fee.

After registering online, please make sure to download the “TeamSnap” app. This is how you will view the schedule and communicate with your coach and teammates.
