The Ability Games is an inspiring event created by Stay In Step, in collaboration with Troy J Smith, a dedicated Navy veteran committed to supporting the community. The inaugural Ability Games took place in 2017 and has since grown into a significant annual event.

The primary aim of the Ability Games is to highlight the determination and resilience of individuals recovering from or living with spinal cord injuries. It serves as a platform for these athletes to showcase their strengths and abilities. Typically held in the Fall, the Ability Games are hosted at a local gym, allowing participants to engage in adaptive workouts specifically designed for their needs.

One unique aspect of the Ability Games is the inclusion of able-bodied athletes, who are invited to compete in wheelchair activities. This integration allows them to experience firsthand the challenges and realities of living with a disability. By participating in adaptive sports, these athletes gain a greater understanding of the physical and emotional demands faced by individuals with spinal cord injuries.
