Date: November 3, 2022

Time: 6:00 PM

Location: Softball Field @ Buford Middle School

Participants: 14 Special Olympics Athletes, Student-Athletes

Purpose: The goal of the Unified Softball Game is to create an opportunity for our Special Olympics athletes to showcase the skills that they have acquired through their Adaptive Physical Education classes and compete in a safe and encouraging environment. By creating Unified partnerships, Special Olympics Athletes and Student-Athletes will have the opportunity to work together to ensure fluid gameplay and the use of modified equipment will allow for all participants to play to the best of their ability. This will be a tremendous night for our Buford community to cheer for our students, enjoy fellowship with one another, and have a great time at the ball field.
