École Secondaire Notre Dame High School hosting 1st Annual ND Unified Cougar Classic

Unified Sports teams are composed of athletes (students with intellectual disabilities) and partners (students without intellectual disabilities), promoting an environment of equality and inclusion. Officials say each team is carefully assembled to ensure a balance of skills, offering every participant the chance to contribute to their team’s success with their unique abilities.

RDCRS say this year’s event underscores its commitment to creating a supportive and fun environment where athletes can compete fairly and safely. They say coaches play a crucial role in fostering this atmosphere, working tirelessly to ensure that the principles of Unified Sports are upheld in every game and activity.

Officials say the 1st Annual ND Unified Cougar Classic is not just a competition; it is a celebration of the power of sports to bring people together, breaking down barriers and creating lasting friendships. District officials say they are thrilled to have this opportunity to cheer on these remarkable teams as they demonstrate the true meaning of unity and sportsmanship.
