GET OUT THERE and Thrive
Spirit Para Sports exists to pass that hope forward.
Our Story
At Spirit Para Sports Association, we believe that the thrill of a perfect serve and the intensity of a fast-paced rally should be accessible to everyone. Our journey began with a simple observation: there is no shortage of talent or "spirit" among para-athletes, but there is often a massive shortage of the specialized equipment and opportunities needed to play.
Table tennis is a sport of precision, and for a para-athlete, the equipment is an extension of their body. However, with specialized wheelchairs costing thousands of dollars and custom pro rackets being out of reach for many, too many great players stay on the sidelines. We were founded to change that.
What We Do
We are a grassroots non-profit dedicated to the Para Table Tennis community. We act as the bridge between an athlete's potential and the gear they need to achieve it.
We Provide
Custom-fitted rackets, carbon blades, specialized rubbers, and para-specific wheelchairs.
We Support
Both recreational players looking for health and community, and competitive athletes chasing podium finishes.
We Build
A network of volunteers, coaches, and donors who believe in the power of inclusive sport.
Why "Spirit"?
Our logo—a dynamic red figure in motion—represents the unstoppable energy of our athletes. The "Spirit" in our name stands for the resilience, determination, and joy that para-athletes bring to the table every single day. We don't just provide gear; we fuel the spirit of competition.
Our Commitment
As a non-profit, we operate with 100% transparency. Every dollar donated is a direct investment in an athlete’s independence and athletic journey. While we are currently focused on mastering the world of Para Table Tennis, our vision is to grow a community where every para-athlete has a place at the table.
Our Founder
Spirit Para Sports was founded on courage, compassion, and community. After his spinal cord injury, Mohsin Watto refused to accept a life of limitation. With help from wheelchair athletes, adaptive sports, and unwavering determination, he rebuilt himself physically and mentally. From struggling to move on, to discovering para table tennis, to becoming a national athlete for Canada, Mohsin’s journey proves that sport can transform lives.
Spirit Para Sports was created so others can access the same and more opportunities for growth, healing, and empowerment.

Values
Dedication, Empathy, Commitment, Resilience, Advocacy, & Power
These values guide everything we do — from coaching and events to community support and athlete development
After a devastating accident that left him with a spinal cord injury, Mohsin Watto found hope again through sport and community. What began as rehabilitation soon became passion, and that passion led him to health, happiness, and ultimately, national representation for Canada in Para Table Tennis.
Today, Mohsin holds 40+ medals, awards, and achievements, and continues to inspire athletes across the country.
He founded Spirit Para Sports to give others the same chance he was given — to rise, rebuild, and reclaim their future with dignity, strength, and joy.
