               1991 USCPAA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

The  1991  extravaganza  is  tentatively  scheduled to begin with 
arrivals on July 11, 1991 and will feature  the  standard  USCPAA 
menu  of  sports  and  events.   The  event  will  take  on added 
dimensions in that, for the  first  time,  it  will  be  a  joint 
national   championships  which,  besides  USCPAA,  will  include 
national  championships  for  the  U.S.  Association  for   Blind 
Athletes  (USABA), the U.S. Amputee Athletic Association (USAAA), 
the Dwarf Athletic Association of America  (DAAA),  the  National 
Wheelchair  Athletic Association  (NWAA)  and the U.S. Les Autres 
Sports Association (USLASA).  The event will also  serve  as  the 
competition  from  which  the  "Athlete  Pool" for the Barcelona, 
Spain, Paralympic Games will be established.

The event  is  being  sponsored  by  the  U.S.  Organization  for 
disABLED  Athletes  (USODA)  in  concert  with the Nassau County 
Department of Parks and Recreation.   The  site (Hoffstra Univer- 
sity and surrounding areas)  successfully  hosted the 1984 Inter- 
national Games For the  disABLED  and  the  1987  Can-Am  Pacific 
Games.
