Approximately 85% of individuals with intellectual disabilities can live
independently or in minimally supervised settings. These individuals typically
can take public transportation, understand news events and
handle money.

SO College Structure
• Follows same structure as Master’s level community-based teams (coaches collaborate to scrimmage and then register for competition)
• Colleges wishing to host a separate invitational for other colleges may do so and will be given guidelines from SOWA staff for event planning.
• Teams should remain age appropriate. Students may coach, as they would any other intramural sport.
• Teams can be run as club or intramural activity.
