The Triumph Foundation is set to host their 10th annual Wheelchair Sports Festival later this month. 

The two-day Wheelchair Sports Festival is scheduled to take place on Saturday April 29, and Sunday April 30th at the Santa Clarita Sports Complex, according to Triumph officials.

“This is Triumph’s major event of the year giving everyone a chance to push the limits of their ability. Whether you have a disability or not, you’re welcome,” said Triumph Foundation Founder Andrew Skinner, who suffered a spinal cord injury in November 2004 in a snowboarding accident and founded the organization in 2008.

The festival features adaptive activities that are open to the general public to participate. 

Activities include: wheelchair basketball, hockey, quad rugby, tennis, pickleball, baseball, hand cycling, fencing, scuba, wheelchair skating (WCMX), dance, yoga, art workshop and more, according to event organizers. 

Additionally, a Resource Fair featuring informational booths and exhibitors are set to be open throughout the festival.   

Triumph Foundation hosts the annual event to introduce people with disabilities, their families, and the community to adaptive recreation.  

“The best part of the festival is I got to play sports with my dad and friends again,” Tyler Allen said after joining the festival for the first-time last year.   

As a Move United Sport Club, Triumph Foundation hopes this event will be a gateway to gold for participants, where they learn about a sport, excel and represent the United States of America in the Olympics being held in Los Angeles in 2028. 

“Our first Festival started off with two adaptive sports and 100 athletes, and it has now grown to over 15 activities and we’re expecting 1,000 participants this year. People travel from all over California to attend. We’ve seen incredible growth in the 10 years we’ve held this event,” said Randi Wyatt, volunteer coordinator for Triumph.
