            educating young people through amateur athletics, bringing 
            together athletes from many countries in friendly competition,

            coordinating and developing amateur athletic activities in the 
            United States to foster productive working relationships among

            organizations and persons concerned with sports in the 
            development of athletic programs for able-bodied and disabled 
            athletes regardless of age, race, or gender.
