What is Unified Sports?

Unified Sports is a program that combines athletes with and without intellectual disabilities to form sports teams for training and competition.

Unified Sports dramatically increase inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities in to the community by breaking down barriers that have historically kept these people apart.

An estimated 50,000 athletes now participate worldwide in Unified Sports programs in cooperation with schools, civic association, Parks and Recreation departments, and other community sports organizations.
