Mission Statement
It is the mission of Team Catapult to facilitate a lifestyle of health and fitness to physically challenged individuals, so they may meet their personal goals.
We strive to motivate and unite communities by demonstrating that disabilities place no limit to an athlete’s capabilities.
About Us
Team Catapult connects physically challenged individuals with the opportunities, training, education, accessibility, and funding needed to participate and compete at all athletic levels.
Since 2015, Catapult has led efforts to provide full, non-discriminatory access for physically challenged athletes to training and competition. We have assisted hundreds of athletes worldwide in getting to and crossing their finish lines.
Catapult athlete achievements range from completion of local road races to Ironman Championships and Paralympic Games.
“If someone can dream it,
we will do our part to bring that dream to life.”
- Mark Barr, 2x Paralympian, Swimming, Triathllon
“Team Catapult has greatly assisted with my journey to become the fastest visually impaired runner in the country. Since working with Catapult, I’ve completed three marathons and crossed the finish line of an Ironman in 2016!”
“Catapult’s funding helped me attend summer camps that allowed me to improve my ability in my sports. Without Catapult, I would not have been able to attend those camps which helped develop my confidence to reach my goal of being the first double amputee in the NFL!”
