Valor Games Southeast

May 22-25, 2023

COMPETITION. CAMARADERIE. COMMUNITY.

VALOR GAMES SE 2023

Bridge II Sports is honored to be the host of Valor Games Southeast celebrating the power of adapted sports for our nation’s Veterans with disabilities.  This impactful initiative is supported by community and corporate partners and a VA adaptive sports grant.

The 2023 games will be our 11th year engaging Veterans and members of the Armed Forces with disabilities in spirited adapted sports competition and camaraderie. 

The current dates* for VGSE23 are: MAY 22- 25, 2023

Sport competitions include: Air Rifle, Sitting Volleyball, Boccia, Wheelchair Basketball, Archery, Indoor Rowing, Power Lifting, Table Tennis, Cycling, Kayaking, and Shot Put.

*ALL Event details including dates, venues, and sports are subject to change

Valor Games Southeast is designed as an introductory competition to give opportunity for both those facing life for the first time with a disability and those continuing to gain confidence as they live daily with a disability.

A body and mind changed by injury needs the discipline and challenge of physical activity to stay healthy physically, mentally and emotionally. It is the key to recovery, long-term health and re-integration into your community at home.

All meals, lodging at Valor Games Southeast specific hotels and transportation to/from venues  are provided DURING Valor Games Southeast to registered athletes.  Athletes are responsible for their own transportation to and from Valor Games Southeast.

MORE VETERAN OPPORTUNTIES AT BRIDGE II SPORTS

VETERAN FITNESS CHALLENGE
YEAR-ROUND

Many of us have been feeling the effects of the COVID-19 restrictions on our physical and mental health.  It’s been difficult missing the things that get us out and the interactions we have with others while we’re there.

For those reasons Bridge II Sports created the Veteran Fitness Challenge.

Started in September 2020 Bridge II Sports began setting up at least 1 challenge per month to encourage participants to stay active and connected. Now over a year later there are over 200 Veterans with disabilities from across the country participating!

-Challenges are hosted on the Fitbit® platform where you can track your progress and communicate with your team.

-Participants will be on a team with fellow veterans and volunteers for some challenges. Other challenges will be indivdual.

-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.

Check out more info and the challenges to date at www.bridge2sports.org/veteran-fitness-challenge/
