The AdaptEDSports Programs in Recreation and Education (ASPIRE) Awards honor outstanding contributions to the advancement of adapted sports nationwide. Nominees—including student-athletes, coaches, volunteers, advocates, officials, and organizations—are recommended by peers and the community and selected by the ASPIRE Awards Committee of the American Association of Adapted Sports Programs, Inc.
Each year, nominees are recognized at a formal banquet celebrating their achievements and announcing the award recipients. During the ceremony, AAASP will honor these nominees and name the award recipients for 2025.
