On Saturday Nov. 7 and Sunday Nov. 8, the Pittsburgh Steelwheeler's hosted a quad rugby tournament at the Slippery Rock University ARC. Slippery Rock University recently named November Disability Awareness Month and hosted this Quad Rugby tournament in association with that. On Sunday morning I caught up with the Adaptive Sports Program of Ohio team to get their take on the tournament. The Adaptive Sports Program of Ohio (ASPO) is a 501(c)3 organization that helps promote the health and wellness of individuals with physical disabilities by providing competitive and recreational adaptive sport opportunities throughout the state of Ohio.
