During the last few school days before Winter Break, Chenango Valley Middle and High School students had the opportunity to participate in and learn more about adaptive sports.

The Move Along program helps to promote general awareness of adaptive sports. These are competitive or recreational sports with modifications for people with disabilities to participate. Chenango Valley students were able to try basketball, hockey and cycling with these modifications.

Students had a great time learning about the similarities to conventional able-bodied sports and experiencing the chance to find out more about the opportunities available through adaptive sports.
