A man performs a bench press at a competitive event, surrounded by spotters and supporters. The crowd watches intently, with some people seated in wheelchairs. Various individuals wear event-themed shirts.

Thank you for your interest in competing at the National Veterans Wheelchair Games—the largest adaptive sports and rehabilitation event designed exclusively for U.S. military Veterans with disabilities. Join fellow Veterans from across the country to test your strength, showcase your skills, and connect with others who share your journey.

Eligibility: Participation is open to Veterans living with spinal cord injuries, amputations, multiple sclerosis or other central neurological conditions. Physical disabilities must be permanent, measurable and impact mobility. All Veterans registering for the National Veterans Wheelchair Games must be eligible to receive care at a VA medical facility. When a Veteran’s diagnosis and eligibility to compete is in question, we will refer to the eligibility criteria appropriate for that person to participate in other community wheelchair sports organizations.

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER! Be sure to check back here to secure your spot among these extraordinary athletes.
