The Paralympic Games are here and BORP has caught Paralympic fever! Recently, BORP Goalball had the thrill of welcoming the Paralympic Goalball Team to one of our Wednesday practices. What a treat to witness such top-tier talent in action! And if you missed it, our Paralympic opening ceremonies watch party was an absolute blast, with four Paralympians sharing their incredible journeys and some fun behind-the-scenes stories (you can catch all the highlights on our website). Later in the week NBC Bay AreaNews stopped by our Berkeley Adult Wheelchair Basketball practice and shot a segment for the evening news!
Here at BORP, we’re always excited about adaptive recreation, but there's something special about seeing parasports take center stage. For every superstar competing in Paris, there’s a Bay Area resident eager to get moving who just hasn’t found us yet. That’s why we’re committed to making adaptive recreation accessible to all—whether through outreach events like our upcoming October 5th Expo or by providing specialized adaptive equipment and expert coaching.
Seeing elite athletes redefine what’s possible is truly motivating, and I know it’s sparking big dreams among our young athletes this month. Who knows? We might just be training the next generation of Paralympians right here at BORP. One thing I do know for sure: wherever adaptive sports takes our participants, they'll never regret the ride.
