Move United, the community-based sports and recreation organization for individuals with disabilities, selected the City of Hoover and Birmingham, Alabama, as the host of the 2023 and 2024 Move United Nationals after a nationwide bid process. The local organizing committee that will host and spearhead the event include the City of Hoover, Lakeshore Foundation, and Birmingham Convention and Visitors Bureau. In addition, the event will expand to include adults as well as youth athletes with a physical, visual, and/or intellectual disability.

Move United Nationals is the largest and longest-standing national sport championship event for athletes with a physical, visual, and/or intellectual disability. The 2023 event, scheduled for July 8-15, will mark the 66th year of competition.

“There is a real need for additional opportunities for adaptive athletes over the age of 22 to not only come together but also to compete,” said Move United Executive Director Glenn Merry. “We are excited to provide a platform for all athletes in our community to showcase their talent starting next year.”

With more than 400 athletes with disabilities and coaches expected to participate, the weeklong event includes competitions, clinics, education, and social opportunities. The sports that will be contested include archery, para powerlifting, paratriathlon, shooting, swimming, track and field, and wheelchair tennis.

“As one of the most diverse cities in Alabama, the City of Hoover makes an intentional effort to make sure everyone feels included and empowered,” said Hoover Mayor Frank V. Brocato. “We are excited to share our facilities with the Move United team and those of all abilities. We also look forward to welcoming all of the athletes to our area and showing them an experience filled with smiles and southern charm.”
