The Lakeshore Foundation—a key training site for multiple Team USA Paralympic sports—has just added another sport to its roster.

The U.S. Para Powerlifting program will join the Lakeshore National Adapted Sports Organization, alongside USA Wheelchair Rugby and Boccia United States.

The move means U.S. Para Powerlifting—one of the fastest-growing organizations in Paralympic sports—will now gain access to the world-renowned staff and training facilities available at Lakeshore.

“The addition of U.S. Para Powerlifting to the Lakeshore National Adapted Sports Organization marks a pivotal milestone in Lakeshore’s continued evolution as a leader is Para sports.

We are excited to welcome the U.S. Para Powerlifting athletes to our esteemed roster and look forward to providing them with cutting-edge technology and facilities, as well as continued support, as they prepare for upcoming international competitions, including the LA28 Paralympic Games.”
