Adaptive Sports & Recreation at NYA is here for you and your child! NYA Sports & Fitness, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is committed to building a stronger community by providing an environment that supports healthy living though exercise, sports, play, events, and personal connections. 
At NYA, we believe in inclusivity and providing a safe space where everyone regardless of capabilities can and will be successful.
Diversity is being invited to the game, but inclusivity is being asked to play.

Our program is designed to offer families of children, with various levels of capability, an opportunity to participate in recreation according to their ability. Participants join us each week while our dedicated team works diligently to adapt the activity of the day, accordingly. We pride ourselves in getting to know each participant and their families, as well as, specific needs to ensure everyone feels supported and is successful. 
We welcome families, not just in Newtown but from neighboring communities as well, and we always welcome siblings!

Adaptive Sports & Recreation is offered at least three times a year for six 75-minute sessions and is overseen by two NYA Directors and supported by adult volunteers and high school volunteers, most of whom are involved in middle and high school Best Buddies programs and Unified Sports. Do not be discouraged if you have not been successful in finding the right place for your family.
Give us a try and we will make every effort to meet your needs!

If you have any questions or concerns, please call us directly so we can help put your mind at ease.

Sincerely,

The NYA Adaptive Sports & Recreation Team
