Our Mission

Current Initiatives
We are excited to announce the development of our inaugural adaptive sport: Beep Baseball. This initiative is a collaborative effort between Mason Recreation, Disability Services, and the Metro Washington Association of Blind Athletes. Beep Baseball is a modified version of traditional baseball, tailored for athletes who are blind or visually impaired, utilizing auditory cues to facilitate play.
