Students across Lake Washington School District recently wrapped up the third season of Unified Soccer, a program that brings together students with and without disabilities for a shared experience centered on teamwork, connection and the joy of sport.

Unified Soccer is designed to create meaningful opportunities for students of all abilities to participate in athletics. Students with disabilities, known as Unified athletes, take the field to compete, while general education students, called peer partners, help support the team experience. Peer partners assist with setup, warmups and substitutions, ensuring every athlete has the opportunity to play and feel part of the team.
