Welcome to GAA Special Populations
Our program is for children and adults with mental, physical and multiple disabilities. The league’s focus is to give players a chance to participate in organized sporting events among friends and family. Our program is designed for our participants and their families to have FUN, establish new FRIENDSHIPS, and enhance SELF-ESTEEM. The emotional and physical benefits for the players, their families, peers, and the community are tremendous.
We offer three different leagues with three different levels of play from the beginners to the most advanced.
