Unified Basketball
The Intramural Sports program at Weber State University is holding unified basketball events this semester. Students and community members can come together and get involved with Special Olympics, playing basketball with athletes with intellectual disabilities within the community. These events will be held every Thursday at 6 p.m. No membership fee is required.
“This semester, we’re running basketball and holding a game for Special Olympics athletes to join us for a Unified game,” Lexi Morrissey, WSU’s competitive sports coordinator, said. “I participated in Unified when I was in school and found it was the most fun I had throughout my entire college experience.”
Events like the Unified basketball game are not only great opportunities for students to get involved with their peers but also to do so in an inclusive environment.
“We’re always looking for ways to make our intramural program better,” Morrissey said. “We’re hoping that everyone on campus can find something they like or want to try in our programs.”
