SFUSD's Physical Education & Physical Activities Department & Special Olympics of Northern California School Partnership Program 

SFUSD and SONC Schools Partnership Program will provide competitive and noncompetitive athletic opportunities (including Unified Games) to all school age children with special needs. Our ultimate goal is for all participating students to experience a fun, inclusive, and safe environment that fosters a deep understanding and respect of individual differences, and that through the spirit of teamwork, inclusiveness, and individual challenges, life skills are enhanced.
​
Our three large events include: soccer, basketball, and track & field. Usually these events take place in winter, spring and late spring/early summer. Our goal is to expand the number of students we reach with our events within SFUSD and provide more events for them to partake in, in the future. ​

Special Olympics Unified Games 

Special Olympics Unified Games unifies students with & without disabilities through activities that provide them with knowledge, experience and skills necessary to create and sustain school communities that promote inclusion, acceptance and respect for all students. We offer unified teams and skills stations through Soccer and Basketball. 

Young Athletes Program (YAP) 

The Young Athlete Program introduces PreK/TK children to the world of sport through fun activities that support cognitive developments, strengthen motor skills, and provide social interaction.
