We would like to introduce Bridges Adaptive Field Hockey, a new adaptive, disability-inclusive field hockey team serving the greater Pittsburgh area. Bridges is the first adaptive field hockey team in Western PA and the Great Lakes Region. Lydia Smeltz is the founder and head coach of the team.
Their mission is to:
- Increase access to field hockey for athletes with disabilities;
- Build relationships between disabled and non-disabled athletes in the greater Pittsburgh region; and
- Raise community and healthcare awareness of the importance of physical activity for people with disabilities.
Spring practices will be held on Saturdays 10-11am April 25, May 9, and June 6 at the Brookline Rec Center.
You can participate for one date or all three. More details are included in the sign-up below.
