DC West Middle School Teacher, Lisa Masters, is in her first year teaching at DC West. She has made an impact by founding our DC West Middle School Unified Soccer Team. The team played the fall soccer season with great success!
Quote by Lisa Masters, Unified Soccer Coach:
“DC West Middle School has joined the ranks of Champion Unified Schools. As a long time coach of Unified Events including soccer, track, bowling, and basketball, I am proud to bring this opportunity to our students here at DC West Middle.
Special Olympics is dedicated to promoting social inclusion through shared sports training and competition experiences. Unified Sports joins people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding.
In Unified Sports, teams are made up of people of similar age and ability. That makes practices more fun and games more challenging and exciting for all. Having sport in common is just one more way that preconceptions and false ideas are swept away.”
