PARASPORT FLAGSTAFF
WELCOMES YOU
Find a WAY to PLAY!
ABOUT
Parasport Flagstaff is a Non-Profit 501(c)3 Organization developed in 2019 to provide adaptive athletics to people with disabilities in Northern Arizona. We specialize in Paralympic Sport opportunities for youth and adults. We have also realized a need for inclusive sport activities that those with and without disabilities can play together. By working together, we can overcome our challenges much more efficiently, and that is why we ultimately decided to launch Parasport Flagstaff.
