Wheelchair Sports Federation New York Sled Rangers
We are the Wheelchair Sports Federation New York Sled Rangers, a sled hockey program for physically disabled youth ages 5 through 21. We are one of the very few outlets for physically disabled kids to play competitive sports in New York City.
When our disabled athletes walk or wheel into their classrooms, and they say they are hockey players, it makes their able-bodied friends look at them differently, it makes their parents look at them differently, and it makes them think about themselves differently.
We are increasing independence, developing self-esteem, and growing self-confidence through something as simple as playing sports. It is this experience that made one young athlete look up and say, "Mom, I'm FINALLY on a team!".
