Unified Sports/Special Olympics Partnership

We have programmed our unified basketball sport league for two years (on hold due to COVID-19) with Hamilton chapter for Special Olympics. Unified Sport is an inclusive sport program that brings athletes with and without intellectual disabilities together for competition. In Unified Sport programs, there is a comparable number of athletes with and without intellectual disabilities on the court/field at the same time. Our team in 2019 qualified for the World Youth Games where they won a silver medal in the University College Division. We have had a Special Olympics partnership since Fall 2016 started by Terri Deline in honor of former Mohawk employee Alex Robertson who passed away in 2016. We have raised over $2000 in that time at one of our Fall home basketball/volleyball games.
