About Courage League Sports

Courage League Sports is a recreational adaptive sports facility specifically designed for children ages 2-22 not able to go “full speed” due to disability, illness, or emotional challenges.

Our programs provide an opportunity to play in sports leagues, participate in group classes, or play around during open gym nights at everyone’s own skill level.

We strive to ensure a positive recreational experience for all children and their families and encourage participants to have fun while exercising outside of a therapy atmosphere. Our vision is simple: “Every child deserves to play.”

How Did Courage League Get Started?

courage league melissa jackLocal mom and owner Melissa Clark-Wharff shares, “Courage League was inspired by my son, Jack, and many other kids who have faced lots of challenges in their young lives. Courage League offers all kids, no matter their ability levels, and their families an opportunity to be a kid and play at their own skill level.

“This is a personal mission for our family to provide opportunities for kids like my son and so many others. We are not some type of corporate gym. We are an adaptive sports gym specializing in both competitive and non-competitive adaptive sports programs.”

She has a true heart for connecting with other moms and experiencing life together. Jackie's perfect day would include: waking up to a good cup of coffee with her husband, followed by testing a new recipe out in the kitchen, dinner with friends and capping the night off with a game night with her family.
