Starting with basketball, the program has grown <br />over the years to include softball, golf and hand cycling. <br />Based in Cabarrus County, the Carolina TarWheels travel across the <br />United States, competing in adaptive sports. With over 185 adaptive <br />sports programs across the country, there is always new competition. <br />Aside from operating a sports program, Carolina TarWheels offers a <br />support system for disabled athletes, by bringing people together and <br />developing friendships with others who are going through similar, <br />tragic life changing events. Carolina TarWheels takes pride in running <br />year -round programs for physically disabled individuals completely <br />through the efforts of volunteers. <br />C -5 Page 30 <br />
