| Special Olympics Unified
Sports? brings together athletes with and without intellectual disabilities,
who train and compete on the same teams.
Throughout the year, in a variety of sports ranging
from basketball and soccer to golf and skiing, Unified athletes
build their bodies, sharpen their skills, challenge the competition
and have fun. It’s a physical workout that builds friendships,
character, and inspires greatness in all who participate.
You don’t have to be an all-star to play. Opportunities
are available at all ability levels. Partners and athletes on teams
are all of similar age and ability – the key to a successful
Unified Sports? experience.
If you enjoy being active and want to challenge yourself,
Unified Sports? is the program for you. As a Unified Partner you
will have the opportunity to improve your own fitness, and sports
skills, meet new people, and travel to tournaments around the state.
More importantly you will be making a difference in the lives of
others while giving back to the community. |
