WHO WE ARE

WE ARE CAPS

C.A.P.S. stands for Challenged Athletes Participating in Sports, Inc.

C.A.P.S. is a unique organzation that offers sports and social activities to children and young adults with physical and mental developmental disabilities that may be hard to find elsewhere. We provide safe, nurturing and supportive activities and opportunities throughout the entire year to this group of inspiring kids and young adults so that they may pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics.

HISTORY

C.A.P.S. was formed in 2006.

By establishing ourselves as an independent organization, we have been able to expand our services to include programs other than just baseball.

The future holds unlimited possibilities and C.A.P.S. plans on being a positive and supportive part of the special needs community.

VISION

Our goal is to expand our services to offer even greater opportunities for different type of activities.
