Stingrays Spotlight

Impact of Stingrays Sports

John and Connor Sayers
“This was our first time participating in Unified Volleyball. My son and I had a great experience! We enjoyed our teammates, competition and the opportunity to interact with other athletes from around the state.”

Heather and Addison Specht, Kaylei Potoski
“Unified Volleyball has had a significant impact on the lives of my daughter, niece and myself. It is truly enjoyable to witness the camaraderie between the athletes and Unified players on the court. The atmosphere is filled with encouraging words, positivity and laughter. It is incredibly thrilling to observe the athletes and Unified Partners collaborating to successfully pass the volleyball over the net. We are eagerly looking forward to the next season.”

Stingrays Basketball
Stingrays Basketball continues to be one of our most popular sports. 40 athletes work together at practice, games and state competitions to show their strength, teamwork and sportsmanship. Each season ends with one of our favorite events – the Stingrays & Police Officer Basketball Game. Torch Run officers play side by side with Stingrays athletes for a fun night of friendly competition.

Stingrays Powerlifting
Our Powerlifting team started with 3 athletes, and has grown to 20. They have won numerous medals and are greatly respected by competitors, coaches and judges. Alysia Specht, one of the original Powerlifting participants, traveled to Florida to compete on a national level. She brought home 3 silver medals.

Unified Partners
We are proud to offer Unified Bocce, Unified Golf and Unified Volleyball. Unified Partners are family members, friends or community members that play on teams with Special Olympics athletes.
