MASR athletes are taught to pursue life with a will to not just endure, but to succeed.  For wheelchair, walker or cane users, as well as individuals that ambulate without an assistive device, our program offers individual and team sports for physically challenged children age 2-21 with cognitive skills at or near age level.  There are year round opportunities for both recreation and competitive sports for children with varying degrees of physical abilities.  Our current participants range between athletes that ambulate independently to those that use manual or power wheelchairs, walkers or canes.  They include conditions such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, amputation/limb loss, dwarfism and visual impairment among others.

The learning and playing of sports provides the opportunities for participants to: ·      gain self confidence ·      develop a sense of personal accomplishment ·      receive physically therapeutic benefits in a fun, recreational setting ·      increase endurance and physical fitness ·      increase strength and flexibility ·      develop close friends and a sense of belonging

-  Running our race with perseverance -  ...let us throw off everything that hinders ... and run with perseverance the race marked out for us.  Hebrews 12:1  http://www.biblegateway.com
