CIF, Special Olympics and Riverside Dept. of Education Team Up in Track Meet
The vision of Special Olympics Southern California (SOSC) and the CIF Southern Section is to allow high school students with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to represent their high school in CIF Southern Section-sanctioned activities while participating together on a Unified Sports team, providing students with a quality experience of sports training and competition.
As a Unified Team, Unified Athletes, and Partners train together learning the basic skills of a given sport. The primary objective of the Unified Sports program is for athletes and their partners to make meaningful, personal connections throughout their season of sport and beyond.
The CIF Southern Section promotes inclusion of all students in education-based athletics as part of the school community. When establishing Unified Sports teams and partnerships, there should be an emphasis on providing healthy competition focused on quality experiences for the Unified Athletes.
