Welcome to the Navigators Adaptive Sports Club!

NASC is a life changing, volunteer-driven nonprofit that creates athletic programs for children and adults with a wide variety of disabilities. 

We meet each week, year around, to train across multiple sports. We provide community, recreation and support for all of our members. For our elite athletes, we provide enhanced goal oriented training plans, assistance with the qualification process and coaching at the local, regional and national level. 

The Navigators Adaptive Sports Club serves disabled children and adults from NJ, NY, PA, CT…

We offer flexible practice schedules, no startup or equipment costs, expert coaching with proven results for goal oriented disabled athletes and a whole new community waiting to support our families and cheer our athletes on.

OUR MISSION

Navigators Adaptive Sports Club will inspire, motivate & help transform the lives of people living with disabilities by expanding social development, promoting a healthy lifestyle and building athlete confidence and ability through the challenge of adaptive sports training.
