Join the MassBay Special Olympics Unified Basketball Club

Come join the MassBay Special Olympics Unified Basketball Club!

Practices will take place every Monday and Thursday this Fall from 2pm to 3pm in the Recreation and Wellness Center.

If you are not familiar with Unified Sports, here is the official description from Special Olympics:

Special Olympics is dedicated to promoting social inclusion through shared sports training and competition experiences. 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.

In Unified Sports, teams are made up of people of similar age and ability. That 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.

Our Special Olympics Unified Basketball Club is open for any MassBay student to join. Faculty and staff are also encouraged to come and participate.
