NWABA is looking for
Powerlifting Participants

The Northwest Association for Blind Athletes (NWABA) is gearing up for its second season of Powerlifting for Blind and Visually Impaired Athletes in the Northwest.

We encourage all of you to try out this sport, It’s a good way to stay Healthy and in Shape as well as add some muscle. Powerlifting is not hard to learn at all if your willing to put some time in, and are able to come to a few practices (and a training camp every once and awhile for you out of town folks) we’ll teach you the LIFTS!

”Weight training is a natural means of exercise for the blind, as it requires little start-up expenses and can be achieved at home or in a gymnasium. For the competitive athlete who is looking for an activity that he or she can perform with able-bodied individuals, Powerlifting is one of the few sports where a blind person can compete on an equal basis.” – From the International Blind Sports Association

The Mission of the Northwest Association for Blind Athletes (NWABA) is to encourage blind and visually impaired athletes to participate in sporting programs. This will be accomplished by giving out scholarships to our members, and organizing regional sports teams. NWABA will support athletes of all ages without regard to race or religion.
