Adaptive Athletics

The Adapted Athletic Sport Club serves to represent our UTA Adapted Athletics offerings. Currently the club has members participating in Adapted Track and Field and the Mavericks With Disabilities Student Organization. In the past we have welcomed student athletes participating in swimming, weightlifting and fitness, wheelchair rugby, sled hockey, hand cycling, Army and Marines Warrior Games and wheelchair tennis. Our Wheelchair Tennis Team won the Intercollegiate Wheelchair Tennis Team National Championships in 2014.

The program is open to assisting any student with a disability who would like to train for or compete in any adapted sport as well as 'allys', or students without disabilities who want to work with our members to help adapted athletes at UTA represent and achieve their sport and fitness goals.

Students with disabilities who are looking for opportunities to participate in any of these programs or who have interest in other programs can contact Cezar Olivas at cezar.olivas@uta.edu.
