Adaptive & Veteran’s Sports

The Riekes Center is a place where real world diversity thrives, empathy is encouraged and all students are treated with dignity and respect.  In 2010, the Center began welcoming veterans to participate in programs developed in partnership with Veterans affairs in Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Livermore, San Jose and Martinez.

We are committed to maintaining an inclusive and diverse environment, where students of all ability levels are welcome and treated equally.  We customize a workout plan for each student and adapt our training equipment to your individual needs.
