🧡 WE'RE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE OUR ANNUAL AWARD WINNERS! 🧡

Our Youth Athlete of the Year is the one, the only...Romella Snedeker! At just 15, Romella has become a standout in Sportable’s Spokes wheelchair basketball and archery programs. Since joining at age eight, she has grown from a shy newcomer to a confident leader, earning national tournament honors in wheelchair basketball and encouraging every new teammate who walks through the door. Beyond the game, Romella’s resilience shines—after 28 surgeries, she made the decision to have her leg amputated at age 10, opening the door to new opportunities both on and off the court.

We are so lucky to have Romella as a part of Sportable! 🧡

If you'd like to make a donation in honor of Romella to empower more athletes to find community and participate in programs like archery and wheelchair basketball, you can do so here: https://sportable.org/?form=Fall2025

Our Coaching Team of the Year is... Alison Shapiro and Steve Fidrych!

After two life-altering brain stem strokes, Alison Shapiro discovered that mindfulness—rooted in focused attention, self-compassion, and sensory awareness— could transform recovery. She brought that passion to Sportable, creating a space where athletes with physical disabilities can embrace their lives with their whole hearts, adapt with confidence, and find joy in the present moment.

Steve Fidrych never imagined mindfulness would become his passion—or his way of coaching at Sportable. After a spinal cord injury, Steve discovered the power of mindfulness through his mentor and now co-coach, Allison Shapiro. Since 2022, he has led Sportable athletes, helping them find calm, confidence, and community. What began as reading from a script has grown into teaching from the heart, guiding athletes toward the same “zone” every competitor knows and loves.

Thank you, Alison and Steve, for guiding individuals through such a vital practice! 🧡

Our Young Adult Athlete of the Year is Daronte Rollins! After a spinal cord injury left him unsure about what life in a wheelchair would look like, Daronte Rollins found his way to Sportable in 2018 and discovered a whole new level of competition and community. Wheelchair basketball and tennis became both challenges and sources of belonging, teaching him discipline, teamwork, and resilience. Over the years, he’s grown into a national-level competitor, a mentor, and a leader—on and off the court.

Congratulations, Daronte! We're so lucky to have you as part of Sportable. 🧡

Our Program of the Year is Wheelchair Lacrosse! Since 2010, Sportable’s wheelchair lacrosse program has provided athletes with physical disabilities the opportunity to play and compete in lacrosse. Early practices were held on tennis and handball courts at Chesterfield’s Iron Bridge Park, and the eagerness to play competitively continued to grow until the Sportable Crush team was formed. The team began to compete in local tournaments in 2012. In the summer of 2025, the program was reinvigorated, and 16 athletes joined the roster. With weekly scrimmages, focused practice, and strong teamwork, the team returned to the Wheelchair Lacrosse USA Nationals for the first time since 2019, building on over a decade of growth and providing competitive opportunities for athletes in adaptive lacrosse.

WAY TO GO SPORTABLE CRUSH! We're so excited for what your future lacrosse seasons hold. 🧡

Our Athlete of the Year is none other than Dwayne Veney! Dwayne's life has always been about speed and perseverance. A three-sport athlete in high school, he rebuilt his life after a spinal cord injury by pouring himself into weightlifting, wheelchair basketball, and the family business. More than 20 years later, he leads a thriving HVAC company, develops accessible housing, and still puts in long hours on the court with the Sportable Spokes. A two-time Class 1 All-Tournament Team honoree and Sportable Board member, Dwayne embodies what it means to compete fiercely, give back generously, and push his team toward the next National Championship.

CONGRATULATIONS, DWAYNE! Thank you for all you do 🧡
