Abilis is partnering with Special Olympics Connecticut to start a Unified Sports Fitness Club. This is a great opportunity to make lasting friendships, enjoy the great outdoors, and get healthier!
The Special Olympics Connecticut Unified Sports Fitness Club brings together people with and without intellectual disabilities and provides opportunities for regular fitness activity to enhance fitness and inspire friendships among participants.
The Club follows the Unified Sports Recreational Model focusing on participation rather than competition. Each Club participant receives an individual tracking device which is used to monitor individual and Club progress. The Club provides the platform for individuals to challenge themselves and earn individual and Club rewards.
The Club begins with walking as its main physical activity. The Club incorporates a wide variety of other physical activities into weekly or bi-weekly sessions as well as offers Pin and Universal Walks at destinations throughout Connecticut.
I'm looking for athletes and volunteers to get involved. Anyone interested should contact me at Harrington@abilis.us, or call 203-531-1880x120.
