WHY U.N.I.T.E?
Though many individuals with disabilities (special abilities) attend college or university, they usually do not get the chance to participate in sports.

Though many individuals with disabilities (special abilities) attend college or university, they usually do not get the chance to participate in sports. So many of these students just want to be part of a "school sports team". The focus of U.N.I.T.E is to bridge this gap by establishing amazing opportunities for students with special abilities through the creation of their own sports teams. These teams are either led by or coached by traditional undergraduate students.

Athlete Experiences
Lily — Roberts Wesleyan College
"I love being able to be a part of a team here at Roberts and be able to represent my school and who I am as a person and what I can accomplish. Even though I was not very good at bowling my favorite part was being able to spend time with my friends and support them. I am already good at swimming so this helps me improve my leadership and coaching skills."
Josh - Roberts Wesleyan College
"My favorite part about swimming is jumping in, exercising even though it is tough. I liked being on a team to meet new people. My favorite thing about bowling is getting to test out my strengths."
Patrick - Roberts Wesleyan College
"It means a lot to have a great program where we learn new skills, tactics, and strategies. I like doing front flips under the water while swimming. During bowling I like throwing strikes. I love having the opportunity to continually improve and spend time with my friends.
