Youth adaptive sports programs in Nephi were designed specifically for youth with mental or physical disabilities. These six-week programs provided a way for participants to socialize, exercise, and make new friends.
The programs were available for individuals ages 5 to 20 at a cost of $10 per person for each sport. Participants did not need to bring uniforms, as reversible jerseys were provided at each event. A parent or guardian was required to be present at the events, and volunteer buddies were used to assist participants.
Available sports included adaptive soccer at 940 N 400 E in Nephi, adaptive basketball at the Nephi Recreation Center Gym located at 475 E 800 N, adaptive tennis, and adaptive softball. The city sought volunteers for these programs, including adaptive soccer.
The adaptive sports offerings included adaptive tennis and adaptive softball.
