IRON WARRIORS SPORT HUB: AN EVENT THAT INSPIRES AND UNITES!

The “Future of Ukraine 2050” Charitable Foundation is proud to introduce the All-Ukrainian Adaptive Pickleball Association, whose first independent initiative was its participation in the IRON WARRIORS SPORT HUB event.
This large-scale event, organized by the “Yanko” Charitable Foundation, took place on November 16 in Kyiv, at the “Meridian” Sports Complex.

This day marked an important step forward for the development of adaptive sports in Ukraine, contributing to the physical and social rehabilitation of veterans who, through sport, are finding new strength to recover and return to active life.

The All-Ukrainian Adaptive Pickleball Association hosted pickleball training sessions — a modern and inclusive sport that is gaining rapid popularity around the world.
Veterans enthusiastically joined the games, discovering the unique benefits and opportunities the sport offers.

Why is pickleball beneficial for veterans?

  • Physical rehabilitation helps restore mobility, maintain fitness, and improve overall health.
  • Emotional support: The game brings positive emotions, reduces stress, and boosts confidence.
  • Social integration: provides a chance for veterans to connect with others, build relationships with family, friends, and the wider community.
  • Overcoming isolation: sport helps veterans return to active life and feel part of a community.

The All-Ukrainian Adaptive Pickleball Association will also participate in the next IRON WARRIORS event, which will be held in Lviv.
Pickleball training will once again be a key part of the program, uniting veterans and civilians as one team through sport.
