Join us for an all-abilities open gym with The Ability Center at the Jewish Community Center (JCC) in Whitefish Bay. Activities may include wheelchair basketball, seated volleyball and/or goal ball! We need your assistance with set-up, take down and playing in between. Fun for the whole family!

Activities

We need your assistance with set-up, take-down, and playing in between. TAC hosts an open gym monthly, with a few extra outdoor opportunities in the summer. Attendees are invited to try something new and play in a “different pair of shoes.” Programming is free and open to the public. All equipment is provided to engage in wheelchair sports and other adaptive games.

Impact

Open Gym provides an unmatched opportunity of inclusion for people of all ages and abilities to play together. Events provide a safe, non-competitive environment where TAC ensures everyBODY feels welcomed, wanted, and comfortable.
