BHS Unified Basketball Team Played at LCA in Detroit

On March 17, 2024, the Berkley High School Unified Basketball team had the opportunity to play their last game of the season at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit! The team, led by BHS teacher Amy Sarris, played against Hartford after a Detroit Pistons game. The evening was part of the LCA Unified Night, where three Unified Games took place after the pros played. Tickets included access to both the Pistons and Unified Game, a Unified Showcase t-shirt and proceeds from each ticket went back to the Berkley Unified Program. The athletes had a great time playing on the professional court in such a big arena.

Unified sports joins people with and without disabilities on the same team. It is dedicated to promoting social inclusion through shared sports training and competition experience. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding.
