Wounded Veterans and active duty service members have more opportunities to engage in adaptive sports competition than in the past. Move United, the national leader in community based adaptive sports and recreation, has released its Sanctioned Competitions schedule for 2024. Thirty-five competitions will take place in 24 states, serving over 2,000 athletes of all ages and performance levels, including new athletes, Paralympians and warfighters.
Move United Sanctioned Competitions are among the best adaptive multi-sport competitive events in the United States and are sanctioned by both Move United and applicable National Governing Bodies (NGBs). This sanction represents a commitment to follow national and, when applicable, international rules and to provide a safe, positive environment for participants, volunteers, officials, coaches and spectators.
The first competition kicks off on March 2, with the Tri-State Regional Swim Meet in Piscataway, New Jersey, and concludes with the GUMBO State Governor’s Games in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Each event serves as a qualifier for The Hartford Nationals, conducted by Move United, which is scheduled to take place July 12-18, 2024, in Hoover, Alabama. Move United Sanctioned Competitions are an integral part of Move United’s community-based adaptive sports movement, committed to leaving no one on the sidelines.
Last year, 26 competitions were held in 22 states; this year’s events will enable a 35% increase in the number of sporting events offered and two additional states added into the mix.
