What this is, in plain language

Free, year-round sports training and competition for people ages 8 and up with intellectual disabilities in Miami-Dade County, across sports including swimming, basketball, athletics, soccer, bowling and more, plus Unified Sports teams that include players without intellectual disabilities.

Getting started

New athletes and Unified partners complete a registration form and waiver (renewed every three years), then send the forms to the local Miami-Dade county sports team, who process the paperwork and help arrange next steps.

Written from what the provider publishes, to save you decoding it. It describes the service; it is not our view of how good it is.
