Announcing our new program for students attending or preparing for high school—the High School Adaptive Sports Program (HSASP). The goal of our program is to increase awareness of parasport opportunities and prepare middle school and high school student athletes to join their high school teams. Our first initiative is the Adaptive Track & Field Program in San Diego and Northern California. As more high schools embrace parasport, our future goal is to develop additional resources for more sports.
The goal of the High School Adaptive Track & Field Program is to support student athletes attending or preparing for high school with loaner equipment, coaching, training, and grant opportunities so they can participate and excel on their high school Track & Field team.

Equipment
CAF will provide loaner equipment in San Diego and Northern California to student athletes registered in the program. Equipment will be used in CAF training sessions and can be used by athletes to compete as part of their school program. CAF coaches will train athletes and provide support to their HS coaching staff to teach the skills necessary to compete in adaptive Track & Field events.
Grants
Athletes in the program can qualify for grant opportunities. Grants will be awarded for track & field equipment and for travel opportunities to compete at local and national events.
Online Training Videos
To support the program and adaptive track and field athletes worldwide, we have created 13 Adaptive Track & Field training videos so students, athletes, coaches, and parents can learn the sport of adaptive track and field.
If you are not located in an area with programming, please know that we are still here to support all middle and high school aged athletes throughout their sport endeavors. Contact us if you are looking for additional resources, contacts, or assistance at highschoolsports@challengedathletes.org
