Unified Athletes Come Together at Middle School Soccer Tournament

The Zions Bank Training Center in Herriman was full of smiles for the annual Jordan School District Middle School Unified Soccer Tournament. Teams from Elk Ridge, Fort Herriman, Joel P. Jensen, Mountain Creek, Oquirrh Hills, South Hills, South Jordan, West Hills, and West Jordan Middle Schools spent the day scoring goals and making memories as they competed on the pitch. The tournament is part of Special Olympics and pairs special needs students of varying abilities with their peers to promote inclusion and understanding on and off the field.

Thank you to the Mountain Ridge High School girls soccer team for serving as referees and to all the parents, coaches, and volunteers who make Unified Sports such an amazing experience for everyone involved.
