Description

From the soccer fields of Brazil to the rugby pitches of the UK, sports have always been a unifier. It promotes confidence, empowers athletes, builds lifelong friendships, and helps improve health.

The latest issue of Impact highlights the benefits of inclusive sports when everyone is allowed to play. Discover the power of inclusive sports and how it’s changing communities, schools, and stereotypes.

Impact charts the evolution of inclusive sports—from its early days as physical therapy for injured military personnel to the birth of the Special Olympics in the 1960s to modern innovations in Unified Sports and Mixed Ability Sports.
