INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) - Even though many people in Indy are thinking about the Pacers this weekend, another sport is picking up speed in the area. A local nonprofit hosted a clinic this weekend for wheelchair lacrosse players.
Indy Adaptive Sports put on the event at the Park Tudor gym. Saturday was a training day and on Sunday, people got to experience a real game. The clinic was opened up to anyone age 14 and up, regardless of whether they need to use a wheelchair in their daily life.
"We are very excited and fortunate to be able to host this event, here in Indy, and have so many top athletes share their time and skills," said Brian Galloway, founder of Indy Adaptive Sports. "Wheelchair Lacrosse is a tremendous team sport and the clinic will be teaching the many skills needed to play it successfully. The goal is three-fold: To bring awareness to Wheelchair Lacrosse. Help new players develop skills. Recruit players for the Indy Rip team."
Organizers invited Paralympic sled hockey gold medalist, Kevin McKee, who played alongside other participants.
