Special Olympics SA - Basketball Unified Program
Term 1, 2025: 9-week program

Special Olympics is dedicated to promoting social inclusion through shared sports training and competition experiences. Unified Sports joins people with and without intellectual disabilities and/or autism 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.

The ultimate outcome for everyone is to enjoy being active – and to stay active for life!

Duration: 60 minutes of game-based activities and instructional learning.

Sessions include:  

small-sided games that allow for high involvement  
games with modified rules, area and equipment to promote inclusion and prompt understanding
Health education and social activities
