Welcome to Desert Ability Center
Our efforts to develop programs and services for those living with physical disabilities is entering its 14th year. We couldn’t be more proud of the changes that have taken place as a result of our historical efforts.
Desert Ability Center is a continuation of efforts launched in 2010 to create greater opportunities that maximizes the quality of life for people with disabilities by providing greater access to resources within the community that increase independence, promote mobility, improved health and support of basic human rights of inclusion through adaptive sports and recreational rehabilitation.
MOVING FORWARD
Needless to say COVID hit the world of disabilities as hard as anyone. As our players took care of themselves, they hunkered down in isolation only to begin returning this year. Facilities that were once the home of our sports were unavailable and our inventory gathered dust. September 17, 2023 we were able to come out into the sun and hit the ice at the Berger Foundation Iceplex for an introductory clinic in sled hockey.
With the help and support of the San Diego Ducks Sled Hockey team and coaches, the Coachella Valley had the opportunity, not only to get out of their homes, but get on the ice with their friends, new and old. And what a great event it was.
2024 will see the launch of sled hockey and we will be actively looking for players and coaches. If you are interested, please contact me through the link below.
DAC couldn’t be more proud of the changes we have made in the field of adaptive sports over the past 14 years and look forward to a robust and engaging future. We want to thank all of our players, partners and volunteers who have contributed to making this a more inclusive world for us all.
