| Gateway to Gold Event
March 29th at Community Rowing
|
Launched in 2013, Gateway to Gold is the new U.S. Paralympics initiative for identifying and recruiting Paralympic eligible athletes who show an ability to compete in the future at an elite level. Gateway to Gold participants go through sport-specific tests and evaluations to determine if they are ready for the next level of opportunity in Paralympic sport.
The event, for youth and adults, is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 29, at the Harry Parker Boathouse.
The Gateway to Gold talent identification event will introduce individuals with physical disabilities and visual impairments, including youth, adults and military veterans, to the Paralympic sports of rowing, cycling and biathalon, with a goal of identifying hopefuls for future U.S. Paralympic Teams. As a part of the clinic, prospective athletes will be tested on a variety of skills that can help determine their aptitude for Paralympic sport.
"The U.S. Paralympic Team strives to be the best in the world. But we cannot get to the top of the podium without the help of our community partners like Community Rowing, Inc.," said Charlie Huebner, USOC Chief of Paralympics. "With Community Rowing's help in hosting this Gateway to Gold talent identification clinic, U.S. Paralympics might find the next great Paralympic champion in your backyard."
Gateway to Gold talent identification events are being held throughout the country. For registration information on the Boston event, please visit www.communityrowing.org or call 617.964.2455.
Participation is free, and preregistration is required. To register for Gateway to Gold click here or visit: Gateway to Gold Registration
