Many individuals who have lost their sight also feel that they have lost the ability to partake in many recreational sports that they previously enjoyed. However, there are many organizations that specialize in adapting sports for blind and disabled players, to get them back in the game.

One such organization making headlines is the East Tennessee Technology Access club, which is hosting a golf tournament on April 23 at Fox Den Country Club. Golfers from across the area will attend the competition. Some are even hoping to reach the national championship fro blind golf. You can read more about the tournament and the golfers here.

Additionally, many other sports are being adapted for blind players as well. You can find out more about the adapted sports and the rules at the United States Association of Blind Athletes.

Additionally, Independence for the Blind offers Independent Living Skills training, which includes a component of recreation. If you or someone you know has additional questions about blind sports, please contact us!
