This FREE program is offered to individuals with physical and mental limitations that inhibit them from participating in traditional recreational programs. Parma Pride, Directed by Greg Karaffa, offers a variety of sport related activities that are fun and adapted to fit the needs of those individuals that want to develop additional skills. We will strive to make this a successful and enjoyable experience for our youth participants, preschool through adult. We hope to build motor skills as well as a strong understanding of all the activities involved. Parents or a family member are encouraged to participate alongside their athlete so the skills can be utilized at home and in a community setting.
Programs are for Parma residents and run in mid-March, mid-June and mid-October. Contact the department for more details or check the website for current programs. Parma PRIDE also has a Facebook page to follow upcoming activities.
