The San Diego Adaptive Sports Foundation’s mission is to improve the quality of life for children and adults with physical disabilities through sports and recreation. SDASF works to coordinate and foster a program of adaptive sports for individuals with a permanent physical disability that prevents them from participating in regular sports and athletics by providing competitive league sports, recreational team sports, instructional camps, and sports clinics, and offers other adaptive sports based on need and interest.
The major goal of SDASF is to provide these individuals with the benefits that come from sports and athletics including
- Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight
- Building improved strength and cardiovascular health
- Learning the benefits of teamwork and working for the greater good
- Learning to accept and benefit from coaching and discipline
- Reaching greater independence and self reliance
- Achieving greater self esteem and confidence
- Improving socialization skills and experiences
- Encouraging academic achievement
- Developing responsibility, accountability and respect for others.
