The Office of Warrior Care Policy oversees the Military Adaptive Sports Program (MASP), which provides reconditioning activities and competitive athletic opportunities to all wounded, ill and injured Service members to improve their physical and mental quality of life throughout the continuum of recovery and transition.
MASP is designed to enhance recovery by engaging wounded, ill, and injured Service members early in individualized physical and cognitive activities outside of traditional therapy settings. The program hopes to inspire recovery and physical fitness and encourage new opportunities for growth and achievement. The benefits of physical activity for injured Service members include reduced stress, increased quality of life, lower blood pressure, weight management, and enhancement of the rehabilitative process.
WCP executes MASP through its 36 Adaptive Reconditioning Site Coordinators (AR SCs) who facilitate daily activities, access to community-based events and resources, sports camps, and clinics at four major Medical Treatment Facilities and installations. MASP offers a variety of single-sport clinics, multiple-sport camps, and mentorship opportunities to help wounded, ill and injured Service members learn new skills and promote lifelong fitness and well-being.
