Nebraska Adaptive Sports/NAS (formerly Eastern Nebraska Wheelchair Athletic Association/ENWAA) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1975 and became an exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code in 1988. NAS is the premier wheelchair sports organization in Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa.
NAS provides athletic opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. These opportunities include instruction, team organization, practice facilities, athletic equipment, registration fees, uniforms, travel expenses, team and individual awards, and much more.
There are many benefits associated with participation in wheelchair athletics. These include aerobic and muscle-building activities, building self-esteem, making life-long friendships, and travel to play teams from other areas. Also, many of our members have participated on the United States Paralympic Team and have had opportunities for international travel. Several of our members have received college scholarships through wheelchair athletics.
