About the Trials
The 2nd annual Air Force & Marine Corps Trials (AFMCT), hosted by the Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Regiment and Air Force Wounded Warrior Program, will take place San Antonio, Texas March 14, 2024 to March 20, 2025.
The Air Force & Marine Corps Trials are a Paralympic-style competitive event featuring sports adapted to the individual capabilities of the wounded warrior athletes from the Marine Corps and Air Force, as well as, international competitors from the Republic of Georgia and the United Kingdom.
Participation on the Team Marine Corps is open to active duty, reserve, and veteran wounded, ill, or injured Marines and Sailors of all skill levels. Team Marine Corps serves to evaluate the performance in both individual and team sports, with the top athletes afforded an opportunity to represent the Marine Corps at the 2025 Department of Defense Warrior Games. International competitors round out the playing field, bringing a high level of competition to the event. Organized into four competing teams, participants represent Marine Corps Team, Air Force Trials Team, United Kingdom, and Republic of Georgia.
By participating on Team Marine Corps, it provides an opportunity for all wounded, ill, or injured Marines, Sailors, and veterans to further the rehabilitation of their mind, body, and spirit through competition and camaraderie. For some, the Trials are a milestone in their personal athletic goals. For others, it is an opportunity to experience new activities and connect with their fellow wounded warriors. For all of the participants, the Trials are a chance to come together and focus on their abilities and build camaraderie.
Participants will have the opportunity to compete in archery, cycling, field, powerlifting, shooting, sitting volleyball, swimming, rowing, track, wheelchair basketball, and wheelchair rugby. Additionally, recovering service members will have the opportunity to participate in care events, which will be providing a Resiliency Workshop, Empowerment 2 Employment Workshop, and a Caregiver Workshop.
