Metro Washington Association of Blind Athletes

Providing visually impaired adults and youth with recreational and athletic opportunities in the Metro Washington area. The Metro Washington Association of Blind Athletes (MWABA) is an organization of blind athletes and their sighted friends who believe that recreational and competitive sports opportunities should be open to everyone, regardless of their ability to see. We will be holding educational and fun programs for blind and visually impaired youth and adults from Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia to discover new sports or practice familiar ones in an open and welcoming environment. Our mission also includes teaching blind athletes the physical techniques and body movements that they may not have had a chance to learn through physical education classes, and we also want to share with educators the best way to teach athletic and kinesthetic skills to the blind and visually impaired population. MWABA events are all about trying new things, meeting new friends, staying or becoming fit, and having fun! We want to support one another and ourselves in achieving a fit and active lifestyle.
