 The goal of competitive indoor air rifle shooting is using technique, skill and concentration to place a series of shots into the solid center of a target. Competitors using air rifles shoot from a distance of 10 meters at targets held by target frames at a height of 1.4 meters. The target face is comprised of multiple targets, each with 10 concentric scoring rings. The rings are scored from one to 10, with the highest value given for the center ring or “bullseye”.  Competition is available at GLASA’s Great Lakes Games in June.

You will gain practical skills in the art of shooting and marksmanship at GLASA’s Air Rifle program. GLASA provides all the rifles, stands, tables, chairs, and pellets. Stands are provided for those who are unable to hold the rifle up.

Archery is a sport that is open to everyone; it is inclusive of all ages, genders, and abilities. Athletes with physical impairments, who may be dissuaded from participating in sports can participate in archery alongside athletes without a disability.  Athletes may participate in Archery in a standing, bracing, or sitting position.  Archers may select from two types of bows: compound (which require the archer to find their maximum draw weight, relative to the length of the bow) and recurve (which have a fixed weight draw).  To participate, archers will want to be able to nock the arrow (place the arrow onto the bow string), lift the bow to shoulder level, draw back to bowstring to your chin and release the arrow towards the target.  Once all the arrows have been shot, the archer is expected to retrieve their own arrows.  Scoring in target archery competitions is simple.  Each target features 10 scoring rings divided among five colors, and the closer to the center of the target, the higher the score.

GLASA provides instruction, assistance with adapting the archery motion, compound bows, arrows, and select adaptive archery equipment. GLASA offers Archery Clinics & Competitions year-round in conjunction with the Chicagoland Adaptive Archery Challenge, a partnership with Shirley Ryan Ability Lab and Synergy Adaptive Athletics, and at GLASA’s Great Lakes Games.

Boccia is one of two Paralympic sports that do not have an Olympic counterpart (Goalball being the other). It is a game of strategy and accuracy for individuals with impairments that affect motor skills.  The sport is played on a flat, smooth surface, where players must throw or roll colored balls as close as possible to a white target ball, known as the “jack.”  The player, pair or team with the most balls near the jack is the winner.  The individual and pair matches consist of four ends, while team matches have six ends.  After each end, the athletes, pair or team with the ball closest to the jack receive one point, and an additional point for every ball that is closer to the jack than the opponents.  Each athlete, pair or team “throws” six balls per end.

GLASA does not currently offer a Boccia program; however, competition is available at GLASA’s Great Lakes Games in June.

Wheelchair basketball is played by individuals with varying physical disabilities that precludes them from playing competitive stand up basketball. One of the misconceptions of wheelchair basketball is that you must use a chair for everyday mobility to play the sport.  In fact, many wheelchair basketball athletes are ambulatory.  Governed by the National Wheelchair Basketball Association (NWBA), there are very few rule differences between stand up and wheelchair basketball.  The NWBA rules are based on the NCAA rules with the following differences:

• You must dribble once for every two pushes to avoid traveling
• There is no double dribble violation
• The front casters of the shooter’s chair may be over the free-throw and three-point lines during a shot, the rear wheels must remain behind the lines until the ball is released
• There is still a 3-second lane violation, however, if a person is trapped in the lane and continues to try to exit the lane a 3-second violation will not be called
• Junior Prep Division: utilizes a Spalding Rookie ball that is smaller and lighter than a women’s ball, plays with an 8’-6” high basket, uses a 13’ free-throw line, and plays four eight-minute quarters

GLASA has two teams (the GLASA G-Cats), a Junior Prep Division team and a Junior Varsity Division team. The G-Cats travel to at least one tournament per month, with the opportunity to qualify for the IHSA State Tournament and the National Junior Wheelchair Basketball Tournament.  Players will use a sports chair which will be provided by GLASA.
