About SportsNet

SportsNet offers adaptive sports and inclusive recreation opportunities for people of all abilities. Working with nonprofits, sports clubs, recreational facilities, and sports professionals, our goal is to create a great sports experience for people of all abilities.

On April 6, Paralympian and SportsNet participant Ryan Chalmers set off on a 71-day, 3,500 mile trek from Los Angeles to New York in his wheelchair to raise awareness of people with disabilities. According to Chalmers, his push is not about being different. "It's about coming together to be active," says the 24 year-old, who got started in adaptive sports with SportsNet's Rochester Rookies track and field, and later the Rochester Wheels wheelchair basketball team.
