Activities offered include handcycling, wheelchair rugby, pickleball, disc golf, aquatics, tennis, boccia, adaptive archery, disc golf, boxing, power soccer, a resource fair! New to this year’s event is flag football, added in response to its growing popularity.

With flag football set to debut in the 2028 Olympics, we are thrilled to bring this exciting sport to the Pasadena Adaptive Sports Festival. It’s an incredible opportunity for our community to experience this growing sport, and we are always looking for new ways to engage everyone in fun, inclusive activities that promote health and wellness.”

Cy Estabrook, a member of the Pasadena Disability and Accessibility Commission, expressed his enthusiasm for the festival and its impact, stating, “The community loves it. Events like the Pasadena Adaptive Sports Festival bring families and friends together in the spirit of equality and empowerment. Brookside Park is the perfect venue to celebrate these athletes and their remarkable achievements.” Estabrook, a local Pasadena math teacher, sustained a spinal cord injury in 2016 that left him paralyzed.
