Hi. We’re the Paynes.
We’re all here because of this kid. Blake!
If you’re visiting the site, its likely because you also have a child with special needs. Welcome. We understand, we’re here to listen, accept AND help your kiddo have an AWESOME time playing and learning sports. This idea stemmed from us sitting on the sidelines season after season watching Blake get absolutely zero play time. He was “different.” He began to notice, the kids noticed his struggles and mom was leaving practices and games in tears. We had been looking for over a year for various sports we could put him in that was specifically for kids who needed a little extra help. We found so many leagues in the Cincinnati area, but almost nothing in Northern Kentucky. After one Saturday of watching him struggle on the soccer field, we decided it was enough. It was our time to create a community for families similar to ours. Within literally a few hours and a Facebook post later, All Abilities Sports NKY was created.
So… here we are. And we are so glad you are here. Lets go have some fun watching our kids do activities that some of us thought we may never get to experience. You Belong Here.
