GUMBO - Games Uniting Mind and Body

GUMBO - Games Uniting Mind and Body GUMBO (Games Uniting Mind and Body) is track and field program designed for school-aged students who have physical or visual disabilities.

The events are not unlike those at any other track meet: races, shot put, discus, etc. What makes GUMBO different is the fact that all of the athletes have a form of mobility or visual impairment and most compete with leg braces, wheelchairs, or with assistance from a sighted person. The athletes competing in GUMBO are not mentally disabled. Their eligibility for the competition comes from having

a physical disability or visual impairment, and they compete with athletes who have similar or like impairments. GUMBO strives to support students with disabilities in developing active minds, self confidence, dignity, discipline, competitive spirit and comradeship. Like other competitive sporting events, GUMBO competitions offer athletes a contest with self, challenging each person to improve performance, strength, speed, endurance and coordination.
