The Casa Colina Centers for Rehabilitation |
Some play for the competition, some for the enjoyment and some as their
way of maintaining good health. For many people who have a disability,
Casa Colina Adaptive Sports provides not only a springboard to become
involved in sports activities, but also the incentive to power through
personal barriers to higher levels of productivity and achievement in
other parts of life.
Casa Colina Adaptive Sports brings these benefits within the reach of
individuals with a disability:
Gain self confidence by experiencing success through mastering new skills
Maintain health through regular physical activity
Set new goals for a lifetime of achievement
Learn from role models
The range of adaptive sports is constantly expanding both in the number
of sports available and the skill level at which the sport is played.
Casa Colina provides activities for people at every level of ability from
the introductory, casual level, through recreational competition, to the
highly competitive play of nationally ranked teams. Casa Colina team
members have been selected as members of winning Paralympic teams in
