Unified Sports joins people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding. This is the perfect place to start for younger and beginning players. Players receive more assistance and guidance as they learn new skills. Young players of all ability levels are welcome. Ideal for middle and high school students.

Each Saturday, Volunteers—partners and assistant coaches are needed.
