Unified Track
Unified Sports was first developed by Special Olympics as a means of providing a quality experience of sports training and competition in an inclusive environment that allows friendships to form. It is the vision of this joint IHSAA / Special Olympics Indiana (SOIN) sports project to allow high school students with and without intellectual disabilities to collectively represent their high school in an IHSAA sanctioned activity by participating together on a Unified Sports team.
Champions Together is a collaborative partnership between the Indiana High School Athletic Association and Special Olympics Indiana that promotes servant leadership among student athletes while changing their lives as well as the lives of those with intellectual disabilities. Elkhart High School continues to be a Champion School.
Elkhart HS Athletics uses Eventlink to manage practice schedules, competition schedules, and online ticket sales. Parents-guardians are encouraged to create an Eventlink account and subscribe to their child's sports for real-time schedule changes and adjustments.
