Understanding the OSAA Unified Basketball Structure
OSAA Unified Basketball provides inclusive sporting opportunities for students with and without intellectual disabilities. The structure generally involves:
- Regional Play: Teams are divided into regions based on geographic location and school size. This leads to initial games within a smaller pool of competitors.
- League Games: Teams play a series of games against other teams within their designated league. The number of games depends on the league size and scheduling logistics.
- Postseason Tournament: Successful teams from the regular season advance to a postseason tournament to determine the state champion. The tournament is a single-elimination format, adding high stakes to each game.
