Unified Sports

Unified Sports is more than big jamborees and showcase events. There are several types of competition you can host or attend, each having their own unique experiences. Here's a breakdown of different event types:

Try It Event - can consist of one or multiple sports/activities completed throughout the day or school block. Athletes and partners can be mixed and rotate around the stations provided. This is typically done in new programs who don’t run their own Unified Programs yet.

In-class Unified Games - such as a PE class, this class mixed with students with disabilities and without come together to play adapted or Unified games.

Unified Mini-League - this can be in partnership with a few schools in your zone or across your city. Have teams compete in designated sport(s) for a duration of time. (Ex: Unified Basketball - a four team mini league that play once every two weeks for two months)

Unified Tournaments/Jamborees/Championships - a large Unified half or full day event that is open to all the schools in your zone. It would have one or multiple sports being played where both recreation and competitive divisions may be offered. Hosting large events can come with funding support from Special Olympics Alberta and the Every Kid Can Play Grant through ASAA.
