Syracuse Flyers Expanding?

The Syracuse Flyers wheelchair basketball team has been playing for over thirty years, but Gregory Callen, a member of the team, is looking to expand the opportunities for those in the handicapped community.

Callen's idea is the make the Syracuse Flyers the Move Along Foundation, which will raise money to fund new activities for the members of CNY Adaptive Sports.

The expansion would include the addition of new sports such as tennis and hockey, and the funding would go towards better facilities, team coaches, and new equipment.

Veterans of the Syracuse Flyers say that the cost of playing sports can be expensive, starting with the wheelchair, which can cost several thousand dollars. With the added funding, the hope is that the expenses can become more affordable.

Bob Prenoveau has been playing for the Flyers for over thirty years and says the prospect of funding is a big opportunity for the future of those who take part in wheelchair sports.
