Outreach: Inaugural visually impaired sport field day held at UGA
About 30 students from across Northeast Georgia filled the Ramsey Student Center for the first visually impaired sport field day last month.
For most of the athletes, ranging in age from 6-21, it was their first time engaging in these sports.
“This is a group of athletes and students who don’t get many opportunities to participate in any sort of physical activity, especially sports, and we never really know who’s going to be an athlete until they actually get the opportunity to participate,” said T. Nicole Kirk, assistant professor in the Department of Kinesiology.
