What is “Unified Sports”?

Unified Sports is a program designed to promote inclusion by bringing together athletes with and without disabilities to compete on the same team. This initiative fosters teamwork, understanding, and camaraderie among participants, helping to break down stereotypes and encourage social interaction between individuals of differing abilities. The unique aspect of Unified Sports is its focus on collaboration and mutual respect, enabling athletes to develop their skills together while celebrating diversity.

This programming emphasizes the value of inclusion in sports, not only to enhance athletic performance but also to promote lifelong friendships and community engagement. By competing side by side, all athletes benefit from shared experiences that highlight their abilities rather than their differences.
