Commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic and Navy Wounded Warrior (NWW) – Safe Harbor will jointly host the 2014 Wounded Warrior Team Navy Trials May 31-June 7 at Naval Station Norfolk. More than 70 seriously wounded, ill and injured Sailors and Coast Guardsmen from across the country will compete for a place on Team Navy 2014. For more information go to safeharbor.navylive.dodlive.mil/transition/adaptive-athletics/2014-wounded-warrior-team-navy-trials/ Throughout the week of competition, wounded warriors will go head-to-head in archery; cycling; track and field; shooting; sitting volleyball; swimming; and wheelchair basketball. Medals will be awarded to the top three athletes in the events/heats within each sport. Participants in the trials include active-duty and retired service members with upper-body, lower-body and spinal cord injuries; serious illnesses; traumatic brain injuries; visual impairment; and post-traumatic stress disorder. Forty athletes will be selected for Team Navy and advance to the 2014 Warrior Games, the fifth annual competition among wounded warriors from all branches of military service, which will take place Sept. 28-Oct. 4. The team is sponsored by NWW. The selected athletes will be contacted after the event with an official invitation. After observing the trials, the coaches, as well as NWW, will dedicate several weeks to assessing the results and building the most effective team. U.S. Fleet Forces Command is providing support to the event, and it has established a strong partnership with NWW to enhance the assistance provided to seriously wounded, ill and injured service members within the region. The trials will be preceded by Warrior Week in Virginia Beach, Va., which are hosted by the USO of Hampton Roads and Central Virginia. The event will bring wounded service members and their family members to Virginia Beach, Virginia, to participate in different therapeutic and recreation activities.
