Notes

Far West Wheelchair Sports (FWWS) is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization which promotes, develops, and organizes wheelchair sports for individuals with physical disabilities. It it the largest sanctioned Regional Sports group of Wheelchair Sports, USA (WSUSA) and includes California, Arizona, and Nevada. FWWS was incorporated in 1968 and operates under the guidance of a Board of Directors.

Far West was founded on the philosophy that people with disabilities share the same desire and capability for attaining athletic excellence and physical fitness as do their able-bodied peers, and that these needs are best met through comprehensive sports programs which allow each person to achieve his or her own athletic potential.
