About

The roots of Mesa Association of Sports for the Disabled (MASD) began in 1988 when an adaptive physical education teacher and a city recreation specialist saw the need to create an avenue for people with disabilities to be able to practice and compete in sports. This created a unique cooperative effort between Mesa Public Schools and the City of Mesa Parks, Recreation, and Community Facilities to provide a comprehensive program of sports and recreation for individuals with disabilities of all ages. The non-profit organization of MASD was founded on January 17, 1989. This partnership continues to foster the growth of available programs and opportunities for individuals with disabilities of all ages.
