Empower Sports Network Powerlifting Team
The Empower Sports Network Powerlifting Team is all about strength, determination, and breaking barriers. Designed specifically for athletes with special needs, this program offers a supportive environment for individuals to train, compete, and reach their full potential in the sport of powerlifting. Our team practices are held at our gym in Tinton Falls, where athletes receive tailored coaching, develop technique, and build confidence with every lift.
As the flagship team of Empower Sports Network, our powerlifting program aims to prepare athletes not only for competition in the Special Olympics but also for personal growth and achievement. Whether they are just starting out or reaching for new personal bests, our athletes embody the spirit of resilience and empowerment. Join us in cheering them on as they make history in our very first powerlifting meet, proudly lifting for a purpose and showing the world what true strength looks like!

Beyond athletic development, the program fosters confidence, teamwork, and lifelong friendships. Athletes learn valuable skills both on and off the track, preparing them for future successes in sports and beyond. Join us as we celebrate every stride, every jump, and every personal milestone.
The Future of Empower Sports Network: Expanding Opportunities, Changing Lives
At Empower Sports Network, we’re driven by a mission to continuously expand and evolve, ensuring that every athlete has a place to shine. Today, we proudly offer powerlifting and track & field programs, but we’re just getting started. As we look to the future, we plan to add more competitive sports, from team-based games like basketball and soccer to individual pursuits like swimming and archery.
Our vision is to build a comprehensive athletic community that supports kids and adults with special needs across a wide range of sports, allowing each participant to discover their strengths and pursue their passion. With every new program we add, we’re not only increasing athletic opportunities but also enhancing our commitment to providing meaningful employment for individuals with special needs—many of whom will be the driving force behind each new team and event.
We can’t make this vision a reality without your support. By joining our community as a volunteer, donor, or sponsor, you’re helping to build a future where adaptive athletes have the same opportunities to compete, grow, and lead as anyone else. Together, we’re shaping an inclusive sports network that’s more than just teams; it’s a movement for empowerment, growth, and connection.
