Chiang Mai Disabled Sports Association (CMDSA)

Northern Thailand’s friendliest launchpad for adaptive sport, CMDSA connects beginners and developing athletes to structured training in wheelchair basketball, para swimming, athletics, and more. Practices commonly use the 700th Anniversary Sports Complex and other accessible venues around the city, making it convenient if you’re based in Chiang Mai or nearby provinces. The vibe is supportive and practical, with coaches who help you set personal goals, build technique, and transition into local competitions when you’re ready.

Adaptive swimming is a highlight, thanks to reliable pool access and coaches who can modify strokes, starts, and turns based on your classification. If you’re brand new, the team will walk you through equipment options and basic conditioning so you can improve safely. Expect a strong community feel, regular meet-ups, and plenty of encouragement.
