Unified Sports Experiences Fan Development & Alliance Building

About Unified Track and Field There will be at least 13 teams this season maybe more MIAA Varsity Sport with 8 events Most schools have two practices a week and one meet a week Sometimes teams combine with the varsity track team during practices This sport reinforces the family aspect of a team Compete against the people with your speed not athlete or partner status. There will be a state meet on May 24. This is against all teams in the state.

Mid-Wach League Schools Algonquin-Westborough Fitchburg Grafton Groton- Dunstable Hudson Marlborough Milford Nashoba North Middlesex Oakmont Oxford Lunenburg Shrewsbury (New this year)

Unified Recreational Bocce Unified Bocce is offered through the student council organization in many schools (MASC) and in partnership with SOMA 2 nd Annual Bocce Tournament was held this past Nov. 17 th at Greenfield High School & Grafton High School. 18 schools participated between the 2 venues and another 17 schools came to watch as Fans in the Stands There are also many community level programs such as soccer, basketball, and volleyball.

Additional Unified Sports Offered Special Olympics, MA offers 24 sports through out the year. 17 unified sports are offered at the local program community level. They are: BasketballFlag FootballBowling VolleyballTennisSoccer SoftballTrack and FieldAquatics BocceCyclingGolf FishingSailingRoller Skating CheerleadingIce Skating 8

Fans In the Stands Meets are a fun time to show off practiced skills and have some competition. They are even more fun if there are fans in the stands to encourage you. One recommendation to spread the word – create tickets and have athletes and partners hand them to teachers and students in classes.

Our Stories
