Dear Media Member:
Courage. Strength. Determination.
These are the qualities celebrated and embraced by the National
Sports Center for the Disabled.
Each year, thousands of children and adults with disabilities
come to the NSCD to learn freedom, confidence and a sense
of accomplishment. They take to the ski slopes, mountain trails
and playing fields to experience the thrill and adventure
of outdoor recreation and sports. With specially trained staff
and its own adaptive equipment lab, the NSCD accommodates
individuals with almost any mental or physical challenge.
Over the past 35 years, the National Sports Center for the
Disabled (NSCD) has enjoyed extraordinary growth and achievement.
Our progress has been marked by steady determination and a
passion for providing high-quality, affordable recreational
and competitive programming to individuals with disabilities.

Since 1970, the NSCD has continued to make remarkable
strides. The NSCD was born on
the ski slopes, and now, in 2006, offers 19 different summer and winter sports to individuals
with almost any disability. We are rafting, hiking,
and mountain biking in the summer; skiing
and snowshoeing in the winter; and conducting sports
clinics in soccer, baseball, and
football in Denver and across the country; just to name
a few.
From a child with cerebral palsy who rides a horse
for the first time to the teenager with a
quadruple amputation whose goal is to snowboard in the
half-pipe, we exist to help
individuals achieve their goals and shatter society’s
perceptions about disabilities.
This year, we invite you to see firsthand how the NSCD
makes a difference.
Please feel free to contact us for story ideas or professional
quality photography and video.
