VETSports is nationwide non-profit helping veterans, active-duty members, and their family members reintegrate into their communities and overcome injuries. We help our Veterans stay connected in their communities through adaptive sports, physical activity, community events, local partnerships, and teamwork.

Our organization encourages all veterans and warriors to participate in physical activity and engage with their community as a member of the local sports team. We know the benefits of adaptive sports and how participating in team activities can lead to not only a faster recovery but also a sense of purpose and fulfillment in our lives. VETSports does not have minimum qualification times, nor do we require a specific level of injury or limit the maximum number of participants.  All veterans with disabilities or injuries are invited to participate as a member of the team to the extent that they feel comfortable. VETSports is committed to run an organization built upon the values, teamwork, and the warrior ethos that have been instilled in us since basic training.
Founded in 2012 by three combat Veterans, VETSports aims to set the standard for how to improve Veterans’ physical, mental, and emotional health through sports, physical activity, and community involvement. VETSports provides thousands of Veterans with continuous opportunities to reintegrate into their communities through our local sporting events, community service projects, and partnerships.
VETSports provides league fees, uniforms, scholarships as well as many other program services. Our members say the greatest benefit of VETSports is that our program gets them out of isolation so they can enjoy camaraderie with their fellow veterans and build lifelong friendships.
