The University of Alabama played two games on Saturday, December 3rd at the Top End Invitational at Shelton State Community College. The women played the first game at noon against the ABC Medical Crimson Stars. It was an aggressive battle, but the Crimson Stars came out victorious with a 67 to 53 win. At 6, the Alabama men played the Lakeshore Storm in a game that kept the crowd on the edge of their seats. After trading baskets for most of the game, the Alabama men ended the game with just a three point lead over the Storm. The final score of the men’s game was 55 to 52.
With this tournament, the University of Alabama is excited to start what will be a new annual tradition from now on.
Raising a child is not an easy task. It never was and it never will be, which is why being a parent is considered to be one of the most special and life changing experiences of our lives. It requires patience, sacrifice and tons of love and care.

For this blog post, we spoke to several super parents, who have children ranging from 6 to 15 years old. We simply wanted to collect insights into the lives of families with children with a disability. They all shared their advice and gave examples of how they manage to do it. Below are 6 simple ways for you to keep your sanity as a super parent and rock it!

If you are an active wheelchair user, you are probably aware of the risks of getting a shoulder injury and potentially a surgery. It is almost more common to have a shoulder surgery among athletes than not these days. Even pushing your chair on a regular day to get around puts pressure on your shoulders. If you add vigorous exercise where you try to push harder and faster, it adds a significant density on shoulders. You need to take good care of your shoulders and have a balanced work out method, in which you work not only your big muscles in your shoulder gridle, but also the smaller ones.
