Northborough is working with the Special Olympics.  We are currently offering unified volleyball. 

Unified is open to all people  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 –  player with intellectual disabilities or autism
  • Unified Partner –  player without intellectual disabilities or autism (including siblings!)
  • Assistant Coach – someone that would like to help me coach 
Each season runs 6 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 Fidrych Foundation.

General Information
This program is open to all kids including non residents
After registering on-line, you must also complete the Athlete or Partner application forms (see below). Completed forms must be brought on the first day of program and given to the Coach. The Athlete and Partners application forms are valid for 3 years or until the volunteer turns 18.
