Unified 3on3 Basketball

What is Unified 3on3 Basketball.

Special Olympics 3on3 Unified Basketball is a unique sporting event that pairs athletes with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. This inclusive format promotes social inclusion and understanding through shared sports experiences. The game follows the standard rules of 3on3 basketball, which is a half-court game featuring three players per team. The emphasis is on teamwork, skill development, and fostering a sense of community and mutual respect among participants. This initiative aligns with the broader goals of the Special Olympics to break down barriers and celebrate the abilities of all athletes.

Who Should Attend?

High School students (Athletes & Partners) ages 13-18. 

 

The 3on3 basketball team should consist of 3 Athletes and 2 Unified Partners. Athletes are high school students receiving special education services with an IEP, with an intellectual disability or cognitive delay. Unified Partners are general education high school students with an IEP.
