Mission Statement
It is the mission of Team Catapult to facilitate a lifestyle of health and fitness to physically challenged individuals. We strive to motivate and unite communities, proving disabilities don’t limit an athlete’s capabilities.
About Us
Founded in 2015 by like-minded Houston-area triathletes and runners, Team Catapult strives to be a leading organization serving individuals with physical disabilities through funding, training, education, and access to endurance sports.
Catapult welcomes athletes at all levels, from those looking to improve their quality of life through sports, to Paralympic athletes and hopefuls.
