Bring Everybody Into the Game.
Everybody Plays NC brings adaptive sports directly into school gyms so students can learn, move, compete, and play together. Bridge2Sports provides the equipment, instruction, and experience. Schools provide the gym and the students. Then everybody plays.
What Is Everybody Plays NC?
Everybody Plays NC is an inclusive, mobile adaptive sports experience integrated into North Carolina school systems. Students, faculty, and administrators learn about adaptive sports, experience the equipment firsthand, and play together in an environment designed to make adaptive sports and shared participation a familiar part of the school experience.
After a brief introduction to adaptive sports and disability etiquette, students get into the action. Current programming includes wheelchair basketball and hands-on learning about how sports can be adapted so more people can participate in the same game.
The goal is bigger than a single class period. Shared play builds understanding, confidence, physical activity, and a more inclusive school culture.
