2017 SCHOOL
BASKETBALL
SKILLS
More than 1,200 Special Olympics Delaware
athletes and Unified Partners from schools
across the state participated in eight Special
Olympics Delaware Basketball Skills
Competitions, including MATP and Young
Athletes demonstrations. The Basketball
Skills Competitions are offered in the fall
in several school districts across the state,
providing athletes with an opportunity
to compete in the three basic skills of
basketball: dribbling, passing and shooting.
Select high schools partnered with Special
Olympics Delaware as part of the Unified
Champion Schools program to become
host sites for the Skills events. We thank
the student volunteers and the following
host schools: Caesar Rodney High School,
Middletown High School, McKean High
School, Seaford High school, Smyrna
High School, Sussex Tech High School,
and William Penn High School for their
involvement in facilitating the skills events,
Padua Academy, Sanford School, and the
Hockessin PAL Center for facilitiating MATP
and team skills.
