From the Special Olympics Vermont website:
Special Olympics Unified Sports® brings together athletes with and without intellectual disabilities to train and compete on the same team. By pairing peers with and without disabilities on the same team, students are given the opportunity to build more inclusive schools. Unified Sports promotes equality on and off the field. The motto for Unified Sports is "On the field we're teammates and off the field we're friends".
We currently offer six Unified Sports® competition experiences for schools and local programs:
Bocce (@ MMU)- Mondays and Wednesdays
Bowling (@ SpareTime)
Basketball (@ MMU)- Tuesdays and Thursdays
Soccer (@ MMU / Tourney @ Norwich University)
Track
Snowshoeing
