The city of New Orleans and metropolitan area has just become a major destination for future USA Olympic, Paralympic Athletes to train and compete.   Since the S.M.C.L.’s recent designation as a Paralympic Sports Club, by the USA Olympic Committee, Paralympics Division, many Paralympic games and disability sports events and activities will be coming to the New Orleans metropolitan area.  Also, many citizens with disabilities in the metropolitan area will benefit from daily/weekly therapeutic recreation and adaptive sports training. 
              The Paralympic Sport Club of New Orleans is working with other local organizations to increase awareness about wheelchair and adaptive sports and fitness, as well as implement athletic programs.
