The group hosted the annual sports clinic, at the WSU Heskett Center, giving members and guests the opportunity to take part in several sports led by WSI staff. Many new hand cyclers took advantage of the guidance and experience of James Watson, while other members and guests learned the art of boccia with Carson Hayes or practiced basketball skills with Justin Daily. The day wrapped up with the organization’s annual meeting. Wheelchair Sports, Inc. President, Wayne Romero led the meeting and several members described many of the 2009 events including the annual Air Capital Classic tennis tournament, horseback riding, Wichita Omnium handcycle race, the annual Wichita Thunder vs. The Plunder hockey fundraiser, and bowling night. Wheelchair Sports, Inc. also supports the up/down bowling league. In addition, opportunities for participants to take advantage of outdoor events like the annual Summer Splash and snow skiing scholarships through Challenge Aspen were discussed as well as the use of the Wheelchair Sports, Inc. website.
