The SDSU Chapter is our second affiliate site, extending the Autism Sports Foundation’s model to more families across San Diego. Built on the same evidence-based approach developed through our founding UCSD Chapter, SDSU brings free, weekly basketball and soccer sessions to children on the autism spectrum led by dedicated San Diego State University student volunteers.

As our program has grown, SDSU has become a key part of proving that our model isn’t a one-time success, it’s a repeatable, scalable way to give more children in more communities the chance to build friendships, confidence, and vital life skills through team sports.

What to expect

Every SDSU Chapter session is built around structure, encouragement, and genuine connection — designed so every child, regardless of ability, can participate fully.

Skill-Building Sessions

Weekly 90-minute basketball and soccer practices led by trained SDSU student volunteers, focused on coordination, teamwork, and confidence.

Social Connection & Mentorship

Neurotypical siblings and peers join in as role models, helping foster natural, supportive friendships on and off the court or field.

How We Grew This Chapter

Expanding to a second site meant proving our model could work beyond its founding chapter. Here’s how the SDSU Chapter came to be.
