Passing through the pathways⚽🔥 This past weekend, more than 70 athletes with a wide range of abilities and disabilities came together for competitive training, recreational clinics, and meaningful connection through soccer. When we include players, coaches, referees, staff, and support people, more than 120 individuals traveled from 21 states to participate in five distinct adaptive soccer pathways: Amputee, Blind, Dwarf, Intellectual Disability, and Power Soccer. #UASA #UASACamp #SoAllMayPlay #AdaptiveSoccer #DisabilitySoccer #SeattleSoccer #SoccerForAll Alt text: The video shows athletes with various adaptive pathways passing the soccer ball off the screen to the right. The ball then enters the next frame from the left. It is trapped and passed to the next player from a blind soccer athlete to a power soccer athlete to a dwarf soccer athlete to an IDD soccer athlete to an amp soccer athlete.

Day 1 at UASA Soccer Camp: Coaches Edition ⚽ Camp isn’t just about developing athletes—it’s about developing coaches and developing relationships. Day 1 brought coaches together to reconnect, learn in the classroom, and take that learning onto the field. Coaches also stepped into the athletes’ experience by playing amputee soccer themselves, gaining a firsthand understanding of the skills, movement, and adaptability involved in the game. Day 1 also brought friends from previous camps back together. Building better coaches helps build stronger adaptive soccer opportunities for athletes everywhere. 💙⚽ #AdaptiveSoccer #UASA #SoccerForAll #AmputeeSoccer #CoachEducation #AdaptiveSports #SoccerCamp #UnitedAdaptiveSoccer #UASACamp
