Unified Sport

Inspired by the simple principle of training together and playing together as a quick path to friendship and understanding. Unified Sport joins people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team.

Social Inclusion Through Sport.

In Unified Sports, teams are made up of people of similar age and ability, which makes practices more fun and games more challenging and exciting for all. Having sport in common is just one more way that preconceptions and false ideas are swept away.

Special Olympics Alberta has partnered with the Alberta Schools' Athletic Association (ASAA) to bring this international program to our province. The program started in September 2015 and continues to grow and gain support from high schools across Alberta.
