I recently joined my school's unified soccer team. Unified soccer is a soccer league for athletes with and without intellectual disabilities. It's done through the Special Olympics and this year is the first time Oregon has been able to have an official unified soccer league. Saturday we had our kick off; we spent the day listening to motivational speakers, designing shirts, pledging to eliminate the use of the r-word, and playing our first two games! Unfortunatly, I couldn't play due to a back injury, so I was put on towel-girl/picture taking duty for the day!
The whole team!
We have the best (and most attractive) coaches!
