Southern Regional Directors
Jennifer Moore
Jennifer is the Southern Regional Director and the Coordinator for the Adaptive Sports & Adventures Program (ASAP) in Charlotte, NC. ASAP hosts 10-12 adaptive sports and recreational opportunities for those in our community with a physical disability giving them a chance to enjoy the sport or for some, compete. ASAP’s water skiing program has been in existence since the mid 1990’s, it is by far our largest program, pulling skiers from across our region. The youngest water skier is 3 years old and the oldest into their late 60’s. It is through our weekly program that I was introduced into 3 event skiing and the competitive side of water skiing. ASAP’s competitive skiing has grown tremendously with the support of our local NC Water Ski Association. It is a very exciting time for water skiing at ASAP!
