Adaptive Skateboarding is going OKIE
As a state, Oklahoma lacks consistent accessible and adaptive skateboarding. There is no organization in the Greater Oklahoma City Metro Area that offers consistent adaptive skateboarding, outside of the UCO Endeavour Games, which is reserved for adaptive athletes in the Summer.
The need for more adaptive and accessible fitness and sports is expanding, and we are here to help make it happen one program at a time!
