Unified Sports®
About 1.4 million people worldwide take part in Unified Sports®, breaking down stereotypes about people with intellectual disabilities in a fun way.
Unified Sports® connects athletes with ID and Unified partners without ID on the same team. Teams are made up of people of similar age and ability. This makes practicing more fun and games more challenging and exciting for all.
