Athletes Unlimited is a non-profit organization
dedicated to providing social, recreational and
athletic outlets to people with disabilities. Our
guiding philosophy is that life is not intended to be a
spectator sport. Everyone, regardless of ability, can
benefit from participating in sports. It continues to be
Athletes Unlimited’s primary goal to provide these
opportunities to as many physically challenged
individuals as possible.
We firmly believe that everyone should know that individuals with disabilities, regardless of their
physical limitations, possess the same basic needs and desires as those without disabilities. Together
we can strive to eliminate societal barriers that limit an individual’s potential to achieve.
