From Team CSDR to Team Deaf USA.

How it started: Little Jada Zarembka doing cartwheels during basketball games. Her younger brother Darius picking ladybugs from off the field during football practices.

Jada bored, back then, by the idea of “ball sports.” And Darius, even after he’d picked up football, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, pickleball, cycling, mountain biking and baseball not yet that his true hidden talent would be in track and field – at least not knowing it until his junior year at California School of the Deaf, Riverside.

How it’s going: Jada and Darius, now 20 and 18 years old, respectively, are headed to the Deaflympics in Tokyo from Nov. 15-26. She’s going as a member of the U.S. volleyball team; he as a high jumper.
