In 1998, following completion of the work associated with the 1996 Atlanta Paralympic Games, BlazeSports America, in partnership with the Georgia Recreation and Park Association, introduced BlazeSports Georgia. Designed as a model suitable for national replication, this community-based sports and recreation program for youth and adults with physical disability was introduced through local recreation providers across Georgia. The program met with early success and quickly grew to include community-based instructional programs; weekend sports training clinics for athletes and coaches; state and regional competitions; junior teams in wheelchair basketball, swimming, and track & field; summer camps; and an annual conference. BlazeSports Georgia is funded in large part by a grant from the State of Georgia and annually serves more than 2,000 children and adults.  Philanthropic gifts, sponsorships, donations, and fees are other important funding sources.

The Blazers are the competitive teams of the BlazeSports Georgia program. The teams compete locally, regionally, and nationally in swimming, wheelchair basketball, and track and field. These talented young boys and girls are winning medals, breaking national and international records, and developing into superb athletes.

The teams are supported by the BlazeSports Georgia Booster Club, an organization composed of parents and others interested in seeing that the teams have the resources and equipment to travel and compete effectively in their sports.
