Ski Spectacular Race Camp Grant

The Race Camp at The Hartford Ski Spectacular is a high-level, week-long, race training opportunity for entry-level to elite racers to train with the nation’s top adaptive ski, snowboard, Nordic/biathlon coaches. Disabled Sports USA offers a grant opportunity for athletes with physical disabilities, ages 13-24, and their coaches that covers registration for the event, exposure to the nation’s elite adaptive race coaches, ground transportation, lodging, among other things. Applications available in August.

Income-Based Grant

At Disabled Sports USA, we work hard to ensure that cost is not another barrier to sports participation. Most Disabled Sports USA chapters offer programs at reduced cost, and many have policies to never turn away a student due to lack of funds. Check out the upcoming events.
