Northborough is beginning a new journey with the Special Olympics.  We are currently offering an adult walking group, unified basketball and soccer. 

Unified is open to all people both with or without intellectual and/or developmental disabilities ages 8 - 15. We are looking for team mates who genuinely want to support each others growth as they develop social and athletic skills together. 
During registration, please indicate if your child is an



  • Athlete – basketball player with intellectual disabilities or autism


  • Unified Partner – basketball player without intellectual disabilities or autism (including siblings!)


  • Volunteer – someone that would like to help me coach 




Each season runs 5 weeks, with weekly practices and the possibility of competing against other towns. The formation of teams depends on the number of athletes available in each age group.  There is no cost to participants, thanks to the long-standing generosity of the Fydrich Foundation.
