About Us: History
The Paraplegic and Physically Disabled Association of Auckland was formed in 1966 to foster games, sports and recreation for paraplegics and the disabled to cater for their general welfare. In that same year, the Association sponsored and organised a national team of wheelchair athletes to compete at the Commonwealth Paraplegic Games in Jamaica. Two years later, the Auckland Association also combined with fellow organisations to send a team to compete at the Paraplegic Games in Israel.
About Us: Current
