Bridge II Sports is proud to celebrate our 13th year presenting Valor Games Southeast: a spirited adaptive sports competition for our Veterans and members of the armed forces with disabilities.
This impactful initiative, which highlights the power and camaraderie that can be found when veterans participate in adapted sport, is proudly supported by community and corporate partners in conjunction with an adaptive sports grant from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
The current dates* for VGSE 25 are: May 19th – May 22nd
Competitive adapted sporting opportunities include:
* ALL event details, including dates, venues, and sports, are subject to change.
Valor Games Southeast was intentionally designed as an introductory competition; a chance for both those facing life with disability for the first time, and those continuing to gain confidence as they navigate a life with disability, to compete in a fun, safe, and supportive environment.
The challenge and discipline required by physical competition is a necessary part of recovery, for a body changed by injury, to maintain good physical, mental, and emotional health. It is the key to long-term health and successful re-integration into our home communities.
All meals, all transportation to & from venues, and lodging (at Valor Games Southeast specific hotels), will be provided DURING Valor Games Southeast to registered athletes.

Staying active has a positive effect on our physical and mental health.
For these reasons Bridge II Sports put together the Veteran Fitness Challenge for you!
In September 2020 Bridge II Sports began setting up at least 1 challenge per month to encourage participants to stay active and connected. Now there are nearly 200 Veterans with disabilities from across the country participating!
-Challenges are hosted on the MOVESPRING platform where you can track your progress and communicate with your team.
-Participants will participate in team and individual challenges with other veterans.
-Challenges can be based on steps, active minutes, sleep, distance….all with the goal of keeping you active and healthy.
-Prizes and surprises will be awarded– in case you need additional motivation!
This has been a lot of fun and a great way to stay strong and UNITED IN MOVEMENT with our VGSE and Veteran community, particularly those in the rural community.
