Valor Games Southeast was intentionally designed as an introductory competition; a chance for both those facing life with disability for the first time, and those continuing to gain confidence as they navigate a life with disability, to compete in a fun, safe, and supportive environment.


The challenge and discipline required by physical competition is a necessary part of recovery, for a body changed by injury, to maintain good physical, mental, and emotional health. It is the key to long-term health and successful re-integration into our home communities.


All meals, all transportation to & from venues, and lodging (at Valor Games Southeast specific hotels), will be provided DURING Valor Games Southeast to registered athletes.


Athletes are responsible for their own transportation TO and FROM Valor Games Southeast, and ANY additional fees incurred for a Early Arrival/Late Departure.
