Bridge II Sports is proud to celebrate our 14th year presenting Valor Games Southeast: a spirited adaptive sports competition for our Veterans and members of the armed forces with disabilities.
This impactful initiative, which highlights the power and camaraderie that can be found when veterans participate in adapted sport, is proudly supported by community and corporate partners in conjunction with an adaptive sports grant from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
The current dates* for VGSE 26 are: May 18th – May 21st
Competitive adapted sporting opportunities include:
* ALL event details, including dates, venues, and sports, are subject to change.
Valor Games Southeast was intentionally designed as an introductory competition; a chance for both those facing life with disability for the first time, and those continuing to gain confidence as they navigate a life with disability, to compete in a fun, safe, and supportive environment.
The challenge and discipline required by physical competition is a necessary part of recovery, for a body changed by injury, to maintain good physical, mental, and emotional health. It is the key to long-term health and successful re-integration into our home communities.
All meals, all transportation to & from venues, and lodging (at Valor Games Southeast specific hotels), will be provided DURING Valor Games Southeast to registered athletes.
