”Turnstone, Visit Fort Wayne and the City of Fort Wayne are proud to collaborate with Adaptive

Sports USA to host the 35 iteration of the Junior Nationals. Fort Wayne is centrally located and

provides easy access from most anywhere in the United States. When you couple Turnstone’s

Plassman Athletic Center with the community’s first class sport venues, hotels and recreational

and entertainment options along with Indiana’s famed Hoosier Hospitality, Fort Wayne is

committed to hosting a first class event for the expected 300+ athletes along with families and

spectators who will visit Fort Wayne.” Mike Mushett, CEO, Turnstone.

This event is the largest longstanding annual multi-sport event for youth with a physical disability and/or

visual impairment in the United States. Junior Nationals has traveled to a different host city annually

since its inception in 1984. The weeklong national sport championship is open to young athletes through

the age of 22 and includes educational clinics, socials and competition in archery, powerlifting,

swimming, track and field, and more.
