Adapted Soccer
The Robins Adapted Athletics Coed Soccer team is a Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) varsity level athletics program for students with disabilities. Our teams serve students in grades 7-12 from Robbinsdale, Hopkins, Mound-Westonka and St. Louis Park school districts. Our sports are indoor activities, with all of our games and practices held in a gymnasium, competing against teams from all over the Twin Cities and out-state Minnesota.
The Robins have two programs, with the game play rules for each program designed to meet the needs of students with various disabilities.
- The P.I. (Physically Impaired) team is for students who have physical or functional health impairments, and is based at Robbinsdale Armstrong High School.
- The C.I. (Cognitively Impaired) team is for students that have cognitive or developmental disabilities, and is based at Robbinsdale Cooper High School.
If a students’ disability qualifies him/her for both divisions, parents should discuss with our coaching staff which team would best suit the student's needs. Students interested in our program are encouraged to visit a practice or game to become more familiar with what we provide.
View our program brochure for more information about our program benefits, eligibility and registration.
