Access Unlimited is open to people affected by a traumatic or unforeseen life event, and you do not need to be an existing High Fives athlete to apply. The application process helps the team understand your circumstances and determine how the program may fit your needs.

No previous fishing experience is necessarily required. The program is designed to welcome participants at different experience levels, allowing athletes to try fishing in an adaptive setting. Our goal is to make the experience approachable and enjoyable, even if you are picking up a fishing rod for the first time.

You can share your individual needs during the application process so the team has a better understanding of what may help you participate. Discussing your needs in advance can make the experience more comfortable and enjoyable.

Yes, a family member, caregiver, or support person may be able to accompany you, depending on the event and available arrangements. Mention this when applying so the Access Unlimited team can discuss your needs and help determine the best option for your experience.

You can help extend the program's reach through donations or other forms of support. Contributions help create more opportunities for adaptive athletes to experience fishing and participate in outdoor recreation.
