About the course

Unified Sports is an inclusive sports program that unites Special Olympics athletes (individuals with intellectual disabilities) and partners (individuals without intellectual disabilities) as teammates for training and competition. To better understand how to implement a Unified Sports program at the interscholastic level, the National Federation of State High School Associations, in partnership with Special Olympics, has created the course Administering Interscholastic Unified Sports. This course is designed to assist and guide administrators in implementing a Unified Sports program by learning about various guidelines, strategies, components, and scenarios related to the program.
