Basketball At Its Finest

Last night as I was watching the news, I was moved by a story about a basketball league.  Not just any basketball league.  THIS league is unique, inspiring, and full of potential.  THIS league's teammates have autism, and for many of them, it is their first opportunity to play a sport.  

The Minnesota Autism Center started the league three years ago when it first opened its school.  On Saturday mornings from January through March, the teammates work on skills such hand-eye coordination, gross motor skills, initiating peer interactions and conversations, and working together to accomplish the same goal…to be a part of something that makes them feel proud.
