National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has long been recognized as a leader in adaptive and therapeutic sports programs. From the first Wheelchair Games in 1981, to the opening of the Winter Sports Clinic in 1987, VA has been committed to nearly 30 years of innovative rehabilitative sports programs for veterans of all ages who have served in the armed forces in any capacity and who have physical or cognitive disabilities. The demand for additional physical outlets for this special population is great, and because the other rehabilitation events have proven so successful, VA is initiating the National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic. The first event will take place in September 2008.
Veterans who are recently injured from amputations, traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder and other neurological disorders, as well as those wounded from burns, will benefit from the therapeutic environment offered at the Clinic. Water sports, such as kayaking, canoeing, surfing, waterskiing, deep sea fishing and sailing, as well as other sports such as golf, cycling, tennis, track and field, all provide excellent avenues for improving the health and fitness of veterans. Each year, the events offered will vary, allowing greater exposure to new adaptive sports and recreational activities.
Today, the five national rehabilitation special events will provide roughly 1,800 veterans each year with a venue to showcase their athletic abilities and creative talents, as well as a setting in which to share a very special camaraderie and fellowship.
What:
The National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic Pilot Program (NVSSC) gives disabled veterans an opportunity for self development and challenge through education and recreational activities. It promotes rehabilitation by teaching summer sporting activities to veterans with significant physical or psychological impairments.
Who:
Participation is open to U.S. military service veterans with orthopedic amputations, traumatic brain injuries, burn injuries, psychological trauma, certain neurological conditions, visual impairment, spinal cord injuries and other recently incurred disabilities.
When:
September 28 - October 3
Sponsor: U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
Events: Sailing, cycling, surfing, kayaking and track & field
Why:
VA is committed to improving the quality of life for veterans with disabilities, and at this Clinic, those who have recently been injured. Participants will be able to develop sports skills and take part in a variety of adaptive sports workshops. Participation at the Clinic demonstrates that having a physical or visual disability need not be an obstacle to an active rewarding life.

WASHINGTON (July 16, 2008) - One hundred recently injured veterans from around the country will participate in a unique rehabilitative sports experience this September in San Diego, the National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic, sponsored by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
"This new rehabilitative event is a therapeutic extension of the superior health care veterans receive in our medical centers each day," said Dr. James B. Peake, Secretary of Veterans Affairs. "The sports clinic will strengthen veterans battling back from injury, improving their mental and physical well-being."

The event is open to recently injured veterans who have spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, certain neurological conditions, amputations, other mobility impairments, or post-traumatic stress disorder. For many injured veterans, this event will provide their first exposure to recreational sports and other activities after being injured.

The National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic will take place Sept. 28 through Oct. 3 at several venues in the San Diego area. Events include sailing, cycling, surfing, kayaking and track and field events. Admission for the public is free.

Sea World and the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina will be the site of the opening and closing ceremonies along with some of the week's events. Other events will be held at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Kellogg Park in La Jolla Shores, the Embarcadero Marina Park and the Mission Bay Yacht Club.

Recreational sports can be an important part of the therapy for many disabilities. VA is a recognized leader in rehabilitation, with therapeutic programs available at VA health care facilities across the nation.

The event will become the fifth national rehabilitation event offered by VA to promote the healing of body, mind and spirit, joining the National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic, the National Veterans Wheelchair Games, the National Veterans Golden Age Games and the National Veterans Creative Arts Festival.

The VA San Diego Healthcare System is hosting the 2008 Summer Sports Clinic. Specific event activities offered will change each year. For more information about the National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic or to volunteer during the week, visit the clinic Web site at www.summersportsclinic.va.gov.
