Breaking Down Barriers

There is a large population of Deaf and Hard of Hearing children in the Greater Boston area. For those children, full and equal access to athletics is nearly impossible and very expensive. Although the American with Disabilities Act attempts to provide inclusion for all, the reality is much more difficult. Many Deaf children do not participate in sports because the majority of the coaching and teaching is done verbally, which these children have no access to.

Our Mission is to give Deaf children the opportunity to be kids and have full access and inclusion in sports.
