Adaptive Sports In Schools (ASIS)
Adaptive Sports in Schools (ASIS) is a weekly program conducted throughout the school year and during summer youth programs, bringing a variety of adaptive sports to schools across the city and region. ASIS was launched in 2023 as a partnership between University of Arizona (UA) Adaptive Athletics and Southern Arizona Adaptive Sports (SAAS). The program was originally funded through a Grant from UA College of Public Health and later was continued through a Grant from the City of Tucson Ward 2.
