PROGRAM FOR young adults with disabilities
(18 - 26 year olds)
An adapted sports program for 18 - 26 year olds with developmental disabilities coached by an adult head coach, with support from an assistant coach and high school volunteers (9th through 12th grade). The basketball program is lead by Coach Brittney Thomas, a former Division 1 basketball player and special educator. The soccer program (new in Spring 2025) will be lead by Sarah Albus, ODS Founder and Executive Director, who is also a former US National Team and Division 1 soccer player. Both programs are developmental in nature and will focus on improving our athlete's basketball or soccer skills and teamwork while having fun in an inclusive and supportive environment with their friends.
