Barb Waters is cycling across America to educate the public about VA services and to raise funds to support Veterans in need.

Registration for the 2022 National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic is open until April 1 and limited to the first 150 Veteran applicants.

More than 200 Veterans from across the country participated in the National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic At-Home.

Army Veteran Billy Connel has proven to himself he can make big life changes in a short amount of time. “I've enjoyed preparing for the games. It has given me a goal to shoot for and I’m going for gold.”

VA is accepting applications from Veterans interested in participating in the 2021 National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic. Applications are available online at www.summersportsclinic.va.gov. The deadline to submit an application is May 1, 2021. Participation is open to eligible Veterans receiving care at any VA medical facility.

Nearly 250 Veterans from across the country are participating in VA’s National Veterans Golden Age Games (NVGAG) at HOME. The competition includes a virtual fitness challenge which runs through June 26, and a weeklong series of sporting events June 23-27. The at home event was organized after the face-to-face Games were cancelled because of concerns surrounding COVID-19.

Applications are now open for Veterans interested in participating in the 2020 National Veterans Summer Sports Clinic, Sept. 20-25 in San Diego, Calif.

VA Secretary Robert Wilkie: “Adaptive sports help Veterans thrive both physically and mentally as they challenge their inner strength and open pathways to community integration.”

There are plenty of great times at the Summer Sports Clinic, but there is also a clinical benefit that goes far beyond the sand and surf.
