SUNY Brockport is hosting a Paralympic Festival on Tuesday, November 15, to showcase various group and individual athletic activities for people with physical disabilities. The public is invited to attend this free event, which runs from 4 to 8 p.m. in the SERC Fieldhouse on New Campus Drive, Brockport.
Attendees will be able to play and learn more about Paralympic sports such as goalball, wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball, sled hockey, blind soccer, track and field, and more.
Two Paralympians – wheelchair track athlete Ryan Chalmers and blind swimmer Martha Ruether – will be on hand for a meet and greet with attendees. The Rochester Rookies track team and Rochester Wheelchair Rugby team will also be in attendance.
The Paralympic Festival is organized by graduate and undergraduate students in the Adapted Physical Activity and Sport course, which is offered through the college’s Department of Kinesiology, Sport Studies, and Physical Education.
