Since its founding in 2003, UA Adapted Athletics teams have won numerous national championships. In addition, UA students with disabilities can participate in noncompetitive sporting options designed to improve the recreation experience on campus for all students.

TRADITIONS

Tradition comes to life at The University of Alabama. The pulse of the University can be seen at any athletic event as students, alumni and supporters exude their passion and desire for excellence as the Crimson Tide prepares for battle.

UA’s timeless traditions connect generations to their experience at the Capstone. While it’s normal to hear a friendly “Roll Tide” on game day in Tuscaloosa, it’s just as common to hear it throughout the nation and world when crimson-clad supporters cross paths.

As these traditions continue to enrich the legacy of UA athletics, they also enhance campus life and unite all who love The University of Alabama to cheer on the Crimson Tide to another victory.
