«Empowering Veterans: Adaptive Sports Clubs in Odesa Region»

In the Odesa region, adaptive sports clubs are being established to support veterans and individuals with disabilities.

This initiative is part of a nationwide project called «Barrier-Free Sports» organized by the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine, aimed at helping those affected by war to reintegrate into active life through various sports.

Available activities include basketball, kayaking, martial arts, and other engaging options tailored to different physical abilities.

Additionally, running clubs and Nordic walking groups are operating in Odesa and Podilsk, offering further opportunities for sport and community engagement.

These clubs are open to anyone seeking movement, support, and connection. Health and balance are not luxuries; they are rights for everyone.
