Message from Executive Director:

Friends,

Few things in life bring me as much joy as music. It has a way of moving us—literally and figuratively. Sports and music have always gone hand-in-hand. Every great team has its theme song. With my son now at Tennessee, you can bet that “Rocky Top” (https://youtube.com/shorts/KeNT-ar3htw?si=uLC0fG1fbJeDcX4d) is firmly on my playlist these days. Music draws out our emotions, fuels our energy, and often gives us the motivation we need. Personally, nothing gets more out of me on the treadmill than hearing the Rocky theme (https://youtu.be/r81AviZECUE)  in the last two minutes of a run.

And now that the calendar has turned to September, there’s no better anthem than that Earth, Wind & Fire classic (https://youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk?si=qk8corLYqMCqKHl4).  Just hearing those opening notes makes you smile, makes you move, and sets the tone for the season. I bring this up because I want all of us to let the music push us, motivate us, and inspire us to get out there, stay active, and enjoy life.

Speaking of movement—we’re thrilled to announce that SoCal Adaptive Sports is beta testing Adaptive Skateboarding this month and next. Adaptive skateboarding is an inclusive sport where boards are modified with supportive seating, stabilizing handles, or protective gear to meet the needs of the athlete. Athletes love the thrill of ride, speed and nailing a trick.  We love it because athletes — no matter their ability —  work on balance, speed, and creativity — whether skateboarding standing, seated, or assisted.

We’re excited to bring this new opportunity to our community. Please see the flyer below for more details, and come out to join us. Let’s keep moving, keep playing, and yes—keep the music going.

Onwards,

Chris Allen

Executive Director

Mensaje del Director Ejecutivo:

Amigos,

Pocas cosas en la vida me traen tanta alegría como la música. Tiene una manera de movernos—literal y figurativamente. El deporte y la música siempre han ido de la mano. Cada gran equipo tiene su canción. Con mi hijo ahora en Tennessee, pueden apostar que “Rocky Top” (https://youtube.com/shorts/KeNT-ar3htw?si=uLC0fG1fbJeDcX4d) está bien firme en mi lista de reproducción estos días. La música despierta nuestras emociones, alimenta nuestra energía y, a menudo, nos da la motivación que necesitamos. Personalmente, nada saca más de mí en la caminadora que escuchar el tema de Rocky (https://youtu.be/r81AviZECUE) en los últimos dos minutos de una carrera.

Y ahora que el calendario ha llegado a septiembre, no hay mejor himno que ese clásico de Earth, Wind & Fire (https://youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk?si=qk8corLYqMCqKHl4). Solo escuchar esas notas iniciales te hace sonreír, moverte y te marca el tono de la temporada. Menciono esto porque quiero que todos dejemos que la música nos empuje, nos motive y nos inspire a salir, mantenernos activos y disfrutar de la vida.

Hablando de movimiento—estamos encantados de anunciar que SoCal Adaptive Sports está en fase beta probando Skateboarding Adaptado este mes y el próximo. El skateboarding adaptado es un deporte inclusivo en el que las tablas se modifican con asientos de apoyo, manubrios de estabilidad o equipo de protección para satisfacer las necesidades del atleta. A los atletas les encanta la emoción de deslizarse, la velocidad y lograr un truco. A nosotros nos encanta porque los atletas—sin importar sus habilidades—trabajan en el equilibrio, la velocidad y la creatividad, ya sea patinando de pie, sentados o con asistencia.

Estamos muy emocionados de traer esta nueva oportunidad a nuestra comunidad. Por favor vean el volante abajo para más detalles, y acompáñennos. Sigamos moviéndonos, sigamos jugando y sí—sigamos con la música.

¡Seguimos adelante!
Chris Allen
