Registration for the National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic opens on Dec. 9 and runs through March 1, 2025. The 2025 clinic will take place Aug. 23-30 in San Diego, offering an extended opportunity for Veterans to partake in adaptive sports.
Eligible Veterans can apply to attend the 2025 Summer Sports Clinic. All accepted Veterans will be eligible to receive a free, roundtrip airline ticket to attend through the generous support of Fisher House Foundation Hero Miles.
Entering its 18th year, VA’s National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic is a rehabilitative and educational hands-on sporting event for eligible Veterans from across the country who have a range of disabilities to engage in an array of activities, including kayaking, surfing, sailing, cycling and adaptive fitness. Each sport will be tailored to meet the unique needs and abilities of the participating Veterans.
Sense of camaraderie can be transformative
Participation in the Summer Sports Clinic is not only a chance for Veterans to engage in fun and challenging activities, it also offers a support network and sense of camaraderie that can be transformative.
Veterans who have attended previous clinics rave about the positive impact it has had on their physical health and mental well-being, noting that the experience provides a renewed sense of purpose and community.
This event is not only a celebration of the resilience of our Veterans but also a testament to the power of adaptive sports. Don’t miss the opportunity to be a part of this life-changing experience!

Hi Richard-
By any chance do you have an at home dumbell workout plan you can send a 58 yr old vet?
I’d be starting from scratch. Fitness level is low to medium. Nerve damage to spinal cord, which somewhat affects the legs.
Thanks.
