Triumph Wheelchair Sports Festival Draws Veterans, Adaptive Athletes, and Families to Santa Clarita

Triumph Foundation and LATLC support SoCal adaptive sports weekend featuring quad rugby, wheelchair basketball, WCMX, and community resources

SANTA CLARITA, CA, UNITED STATES, April 30, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The 13th Annual Triumph Wheelchair Sports Festival concluded April 26 at the Santa Clarita Sports Complex, bringing together veterans, newly injured individuals, adaptive athletes, and families for a two-day Southern California event focused on competition, inclusion, and community support.

Hosted by Triumph Foundation and supported by Los Angeles Trial Lawyers’ Charities, the April 25-26 festival featured adaptive sports across multiple courts and the skatepark, including quad rugby, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair tennis, hockey, racquetball, and wheelchair motocross (WCMX).

More than 30 specialized sports wheelchairs were in use throughout the weekend, giving participants access to competitive and recreational adaptive sports in a coached, supportive environment.

For many newly injured participants, the festival served as a first introduction to adaptive athletics. Attendees had the opportunity to try wheelchair sports, meet other members of the disability community, and experience the confidence, independence, and connection that adaptive recreation can provide.

Veterans competed alongside civilian athletes, adding a meaningful layer of shared experience to the weekend. Families and community members also took part in inclusive programming designed to welcome participants of all ages and abilities.

Los Angeles Trial Lawyers’ Charities hosted an on-site community booth featuring adaptive arts and crafts, children’s activities, merchandise distribution, and advocacy resources. The activation provided a family-friendly entry point while reinforcing LATLC’s ongoing commitment to inclusion, access, and community engagement across Greater Los Angeles.

“The Wheelchair Sports Festival is about more than competition. It is about showing individuals what is possible beyond their injury,” said Andrew Skinner of Triumph Foundation. “This weekend, we saw people push past limitations, try something new for the first time, and rediscover a sense of independence and community. That transformation is why this event matters.”

With its mix of competitive adaptive sports, human-interest stories, and community-driven support, the Triumph Wheelchair Sports Festival continues to stand out as one of Southern California’s most dynamic adaptive recreation events.
