Volt Hockey Open House
Be among the first to try Volt Hockey, a fast-paced, 3v3 adaptive team sport! GLASA is partnering with the United States Volt Hockey Association to introduce the sport to Chicagoland, which is set to become just the second region in the U.S. to offer it.
Our Mission Comes to Life Through Our Athletes
Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Association (GLASA) strives to ensure no one sits on the sidelines. Our mission is to empower and support youth, adults and injured military who have a physical or visual disability through inclusive adaptive sports programs. GLASA supports athletes with primary physical or visual disabilities, such as amputation, cerebral palsy, dwarfism, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injury, spina bifida, stroke, visual impairment and more.
Fueled by Purpose and Sustained by Passion Since 1999
“I saw there was a need. An entire population was not being served with physical activity and health promotion programs. They were sidelined. What began with just a few, has now grown to serve and support an entire community. Everyone who is part of GLASA feels the profound impact of our mission that goes both ways.”
